me too! I've been using HC for more than a year. I use it to convert CME's
data daily to my TS4. I gave it a 99% satisfactory rating. The OMZ version
has a minor bug, yet they never fixed it. The bug is that HC will delete the
data with 0 value. For example, @prem from time to time, it has 0 values.
HC's OMZ version will discard those records.
