The simplest thing to do is try it for yourself, Import the code, open the
file and compare with the original

Thanks Bob,

My friend and I are going to be doing more of passing TS2000i code to TS 
8 than the reverse.

So if I have TS2000i code that looks like this:
Buy("BuySig2") unitsToBuy Contracts At buyStop Limit;
ExitLong("XL-Sig2") From Entry("BuySig2") unitsToSell Contracts At 
exitLongStop Limit;

it will get converted properly?  Personally I'd rather do the changes 
myself...

So these are the only changes?  Or are there others that will be hidden 
gotchas?  Anything else I should look out for?

TS2000i      TS8.3

Buy           Buy
Sell       SellShort
ExitLong      Sell
ExitShort  BuyToCover


Thanks much.  I appreciate the advice.

Chris
