Mark is giving Historycentre a bum rap. This is amazing software. Andrew
Nazarov has done a terrific job here. Yes the documentation is very
poor, yes every setting has to be perfect (but for ANY software to work
every setting has to be perfect). And Historycentre is more tedious to
use than Qloader but it will work and do what NO other software will. If
you want to convert ascii to .xpo or .omz this is the only software that
will do it.
I got the Historycentre demo working for multi-symbols and tick data.
And I can not believe that no one else on the list has been able to get
it to work. But I did not get one response for the following post (more
than a few people on this list own HistoryCentre):

Which brings up a sore spot with me. That many people are lurking on the
list but apparently unwilling to contribute (even in the simplest ways).
Yes, I know that there is no requirement to contribute for being on this
list. Or that if someone emails directly to you that you are not
obligated to respond. To me it is a matter of fairplay. I will help you
out if I can, you help me out if you can.
Here is about as simple a request as you can get and I got one response!
Now how many people on this list have RadarScreen!

I do not want to leave the impression that I have not been helped on the
list because I have. But I just do not understand why the simplest
request goes unanswered.
If you want to get the demo for HistoryCentre to work email me and I
will give you some direction.
