Stephen,
It's not some specific limit of TS2000i - it's just a file format of
Metastock data that does not allow to use a number larger than 255 for a
total number of securities per the folder. Metastock file format uses one
byte (i.e. the number in a range of 0-255) for this field. The similar thing
is for the maximum number of records per one symbol (65500) - they use 2
bytes for this field.
The incoming Metastock 8 will introduce format of the files that will allow
more than 255 securities per the folder.
Kind regards,
DB
Toronto, Canada :)
