merge the two halves of data back together again. There's more than
one way to skin a cat. I'd be creating a text file (or 6) of the
shortest segment of data (Convert tool, MetaStock to text file),
then loading that back into the longer segment (Convert tool, text
file to MetaStock) . 3000 securities makes for a rather large text
file so you might want to do it 500 securities at a time. 6 passes
sounds a bit easier than 3000. I don't see a problem though, just a
little time.
