Not really.

MS 6.x versions "extended" directories are in fact made of 2 sections :
(a) master, emaster and .dat files = the old Equis/Computrac -255 format
(b) xmaster and .mwd files = the 2000 sec/dir extension

The TC program (same can be said for Parity, TAS, TradeStation) will be 
perfectly confortable with section (a). Now, coming about section (b), they 
just don't even know these files exist and what they are for => section (b) 
is just ignored.

No corrupted folder view, no error message : just a partial view and 
processing limited to .dat files between 1 and 255.

The TC program will update these files only, other tickers won't be updated.
