Charlie,
These 3.5 files can definitely be converted and used in 4.x. Just put those
three files in your omega/ts/paste file and go to the server File menu and
click Paste In. Make sure it is looking at your Paste folder. It
automatically detects that you have 3.5 data and asks you if you want to
convert it to 4.0 data. Just click Yes and it does it all very nicely. I had
no problem.
Neil
Jim,
Thank you very much for posting that data. This makes the new front contract
so much more useful. Can you provide this each quarter, or is there a
program we can run ourselves? Who created the files?
One suggestion to whoever created the files. Please round the numeric
conversion to the nearest tick, as opposed to having tick values like
1100.23.
Thanks,
Neil

| Charlie,

| There should be THREE files in that zip (I just looked, to confirm this).
| The third file has no extension, and is 32 bytes long. It's a dummy
| file used simply to hold a name. Somehow, your TS 4.0 should be able
| to import this data, which was copied out of TS 3.5. Since I don't
| use TS 4.0 myself, I can't give you step-by-step instructions, but
| surely someone can. I can't believe that TS 4.0 is incapable of using
| data copied out of TS 3.5. Unfortunately, the reverse process isn't
| possible.
|
| To techsupport: the data is described in the accompanying .txt file.
| If you provided the capability to import and export data into/out of
| TS 4.0 without hiding it behind the .omz mask, I'd be willing to
| upgrade from TS 3.5.
|
| Cheers,
|
