Guy,
I chose the monthly plan at Primate for $22/m since it was a tryout for me.
I did some experimenting with Primate's downloader program Quote Monkey (QM)
to see how you would update existing portfolios or folders with existing
data. In QM there is a "Scan for Portfolios" which will find all the
directories with existing MS data and it recognizes the format. You can
select portfolios (folders) to ignore if you don't want to update them.
Otherwise QM will just dial in and update the data in MS format. From there
you can go straight to the MS charts or use MS downloader to test or edit
data. It's fairly seamless.
Chuck
