Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Need help with File Formats

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your reply and for the link. I am aware of the structures 
of DAT, MASTER and EMASTER. I am interested in reading the XMASTER 
structure, as I want to add more than a 1000 price files into it. I 
want to have my seperate folder having my price data. I am interested 
in having one folder for all my data, that is why I want to know the 
new XMASTER structure which takes 256 to 2000 data files. The 
structure is bigger than the earlier MASTER by around 100 bytes. 
Which cannot be just guessed. Do you have any idea how to go about it?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Alagan
