ASCII Data

["John Sellers" <ay286@xxxxxxxx>]

I use my Downloader program. Open it up 
and:
 
1. Choose Convert from the Tools menu.  
The Convert Securities dialog appears.  This dialog is divided into two 
sections—one for the Source file information and the other for the Destination 
file information.2. In the Source section of the dialog, click the File 
Type drop list button and select MetaStock.3. In the Source section, 
click the Browse button to select the File Name to convert.  Select 
"INTEL."
 
Note that you could select multiple files to 
convert at this point.  But for our tour, just select INTEL.  Click 
OK.
 
4. In the Destination section of the dialog, 
click the File Type drop list button and select ASCII Text.5. In the 
Destination section, click the Browse button to select the Folder and File name 
to receive the converted data.  Type "INTEL.TXT" for the File Name.  
For this tour, let’s place the converted file on the Windows desktop (e.g., 
c:\Windows\Desktop).  Click OK.6. Click the OK button to start the 
conversion process.
 
7. After the conversion is complete, the 
converted file INTEL.TXT will be on your Windows desktop.  You can then run 
your spreadsheet (or other application) and read the converted Intel 
data.
