I have been trying to locate the conversion files listed below
but have been unable to find them. Does anyone know where I can
get them or possibly send them as an attachment.
Thanks,
Carl

Marco sent an example file which I analyzed. The ticker is of the form
"AA a" and the date has a format yy/mm/dd, IIRC, hence some
preprocessing is required which I suspect the following programs do not
supply. Also, in the interest of intelligent data management I suggested
using MS Access to import and preprocess the data as well as maintain the
integrity of the historical database (splits, etc.). This is easily
accomplished with 3 tables, a couple of macros and a few queries.
Cheers,
Jim
