I am doing what you describe with good succes by using Steve Munger's
freeware program called f2ms.  It runs as a bat file file and essentially
recreates the entire data history for each symbol upon export.  TS works
well with this as long as you don't delete any Metastock symbols from the
directory.  If you do, it can get confused about what symbol it is really
looking at.

I used to have more trouble when exporting directly from the DOS version of
FastTrack.  I haven't tried exporting from the windows version but imagine
it could be appending rather than replacing the data - which would lead to
problems when you get a distribution.

Feel free to e-mail me directly if I can be of more help.  I also have some
Fastrack oriented indicators that may be of value to you for the asking if
you're interested.
