I meant :
a) Check you QP_Meta version and update it with latest patch as appropriate
(see Quote Plus info)
b) Delete the suspect Metastock directories
c) Run Quote Plus 2.1 Metastock Output
d) Use command : "Output a list of symbols to a single directory" or "to
multiple directories" depending on your preferred Metastock database
organization. This will complete a "clean rebuild".
