Thanks Jim
Well that will work. Once I moved them into TS\PASTE the scan could find the
files. Can't find them in a different directory-don't know why they bother to
scan.
But I got as far as the conversion and stopped. I don't want to over write
the current SPU8 data. Where will this data go? I may need to copy out and
paste back in?
Tortuous process.
Neil- I think TICK DATA has a $40 piece of software to create continous but
non-adjusted data, but I think it only works on their data? I don't know why
TS doesn't provide that - I doesn't seem difficult and is the obvious
requirement to test using the TS capabilities. But that another issue surely
solved in TS 6.0
