Hello All,

    I have release new version of MetaStock(r) Command Line Utilities
    version 1.2.

    This can be fetched from:
    http://www.geocities.com/mimansoor/MsCmdLineUtilsV1.2.tar.gz

    I have implemented all the features requested.

    1) Option to append, replace file, replace record if data file
       exists.

    2) Option to specify in/out directory where MetaStock Data exists.
       
    3) Now returns exit(1) if error occurs.

    4) Added support for SYMB,YYYYMMDD,O,H,L,C,V,OI for daily and
       SYMB,PER,YYYYMMDD,HHMMSS,O,H,L,C,V,OI for intraday.

    Please try it out, and let me know your feedback. Bug reports,
    enhancement requests etc.,.

    Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,
Mansoor.
