RE: Downloader report question

Hi everyone,
For those who are interested I have an Excel Macro for tidying up
OzEmail (An Australian ISP with relatively cheap data) CSV files for the
Australian Stock Exchange into a format that the Metastock Downloader
can import.
I also have a page on setting and using the various options and tools in
the Downloader.

Cheers,
