Shifting time stamps is possible using Ultra Edit. This is an ascii file
editor. It can handle much larger files than Excel can. (4 Gigabyte file
size)
With it you can shift all time stamps 1 row down (or 2 or 3 etc)
www.ultraedit.com  (demo version available)

Converting 1 minute data to longer time frames you would first need
to import the files into TS. You can do that with a utility called
HistoryCenter
from  www.traders-soft.com  (they can demonstrate the program with a file
that you send them) With that you can import 1 minute ascii data into TS.
Then you can display the data in TS for instance in 15 minute bars wich
you then can export using the view menu (data window)

Also there is not 1 program that can do what you want but with Ultra Edit
and HistoryCenter you can get the results you want.
