Yes ! :)
I saw a home page with this code too, but it is not complete.
There isn't code for .dat files and when the limit is over 255 .dat and
.dop files ms creates .mwd and xmaster and i do not have any tip or code
for that. I did not find a complete code, that's why i'm searching for a
documentation about all structure of metastock file format. But this is
not easy too. Many documents are old, normaly they show master, emaster
and(some times) .dat and .dop struct files. But many bits positions aren't
updated and no documents has any thing about xmaster and .mwd files.
Still fighting... :)
Other tip ?
Regards,
Jefferson.
