Jim, have you had any bug reports with QMH and the header? I don't get any
header in my history.prn file even though I use the following alteration to
the QMH file:
# If your data file must contain a header, enter it here. An example of an
optional
# Metastock header is on the next line following the #:
#<date>,<ticker>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<vol>
my $header = "<date>,<ticker>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<vol>";
As you can see, I just copied the suggested Metastock header string to the
variable assignment statement. But, alas, no header produced.
Seperate issue: dates. Recently I had data that would not convert
(Downloader), turns out the month and day were turned around. I made a
change (I am not a perl programmer but it seemeed logical) and it works.
Is there a fix for that one as well? TIA

If you use QuoteMonster dates are converted to a format usable by
MetaStock (yymmdd). Also, the order of dates doesn't seem to matter with
the Downloader, although a script will be up shortly to reverse the date
order of quotes.
Cheers,
