Mark,
I've been trying to do this the other way round. Not jut trying to convert
Metastock files to ASCII, but to just enable VB to read Metastock files. So
far I have had no luck..
I read somewhere that metastock is in an old microsoft binary format which
they stopped supporting about 4 years ago. I have downloaded a file called
mbf2ieee.exe which may be able to convert to their new format, but I have
had no luck yet.
Any ideas?
Lloyd
