[amibroker] Re: Merge metastock data files



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Thanks for your suggestion Bill, but for reasons it is not worth 
explaining here, I have two folders covering different date ranges 
and the data from one of the folders is no longer available for 
download.  So I am left with the only option, as I see it, of merging 
the two sets of data.

Any other suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Regards
