        When you create other files and leave them there it creates <BR>&nbsp;

I am about to start writing a program to import, update and maintain
MetaStock data into a database structure, using the MetaStock MSFL
library and Delphi or VB, preferably Delphi.

I wonder now whether I am not trying to reinvent the wheel. Maybe
someone has already written a similar program. Any assistance or
indication as to its availability would be welcome.

Regards to all,

Andre Scholberg
