Hi Mansoor,

Thanks for the info. I feel you should add these to the readme.txt so
that new users can get productive early.

Some more queries:
- You haven't defined the ascii format to use with asc2ms (I had to
convert an MS file to ascii to figure it out). Could you publish the
format and any flexibilities with the format. ( I personally use an
awk script to convert NSE data to your format and then run asc2ms,
want to see how it can be optimized).

- Your information about NSE's MTO_<data>.dat file is an information
to me. Can you send me the link to fetch the same. I would also like
to have an example asc2ms command options on how you use the delivery
data to updateRecord open interest in the MS format.

Regards,
Rohit.
