I think the problem was with TC2000. They didn't bother to change the output
file format to match the Y2K date format of TS. Maybe Omega wouldn't share
the info with them. Yet someone on this list wrote a utility to change the
TC2000 files. It worked, but because it changed the date format, TC2000
thought the files were invalid, so re-wrote the files every day (my
estimation of the problem). This isn't bad if you track a couple hundred
stocks, but if you use the entire TC2000 database (9000 stocks) it adds
almost two hours to the update. Had to give up TC2000 - too bad, since I
really liked having someone else update the stock database (TC2000 ver.4).
