<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good afternoon everyone:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> At
the risk of revealling my stupidity I am turning to the list for help after
trying everything else.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My
dilemma is this: I would like to import a list of symbols
compiled in EXCEL into a Metasock data folder. As I understand it if the symbol
does not exist already MS will ask me if I want to create one. This is assuming
the convert utility can read my import file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I
tried to dummy up the data file as follows and save it in comma delimited text
(which I assume to be *.prn.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
(ticker,per,date,close,vol)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
ABGX,D,2/12/00,135.00,10000 </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I
have about 300 symbols to which i assigned the same data(just so the symbol is
read). No matter what format I save the Excel file in the convert can't see the
file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If
anyone has any input I'd appreciated it. Any answers privately or to the list
are welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a bunch,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> -Program
will work under Win98 (and WinNT4.0, I believe...) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Download link (see <STRONG>Download</STRONG>! below)
doesn't work anymore, so best is to send them an email.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If they haven't got the program available anymore, than I can
always send you one from my disk-zips.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It works by providing the tickers "separated by spaces", and
it will store data to an ASCII-file(PRN)</FONT></DIV>
