Dennis H. nailed it:  duplicate records.

For some reason, about every 650-660 lines the FS data contained a 
duplicate bar.  E.g. there would be 2 12:55 bars on 3/5/1999 (both 
with different data), and then about 655 bars later there would be 
another one.

Apparently TS scans the data, notices two lines with the same time, 
and says "hm, then it MUST be a tick file."  Sure wish it would give 
ME the option to decide what it was.... it would be a whole lot less 
hassle than what I just went through!!

Thanks Dennis!
