[amibroker] Re: Merge metastock data files

Thanks Futuresproject but I think using Metastock Downloader, the 
files would need to be merged one-by-one and as there are ~2000 files 
I would like to automate the process.  [Also, I can't see on Equis 
web site where to obtain a free copy of Downloader.]

I have since thought that if the two sets of data were imported into 
two AB databases employing the Import Metastock Data tool within AB, 
that the files might be manipulated easier but I still don't know how 
to do it.  Any suggestions?

Regards.
