I have run into problems with corrupted ST-Data files in the past, and
I also keep a back up---but certainly not organized as well as the
method you describe. With Ver 8.01 and Win 98SE, anything larger than
about 250 Meg, and I am sure to get the dreaded "max locks per file"
error message. (Changing setting in the Registry does nothing).
However, the smallest ST_Data file I have is about 4 Meg.

I am unclear what your exact procedure is. I understand the export of
all of the Trading Systems. But I am not sure how you get your base
"40 KB file". Do you delete ALL of the Trading Systems, close MS, and
then save the resultant ST_Data file? Or do you create it some other
way?

And once you have that small 40 KB ST_Data file, then do you manually
import back in all of your Trading Systems? Then do you close MS
again, and that (now somewhat larger) ST_Data file becomes your
working file?

Thanks for any clarification,

Harry
