The program crs.exe converts the stock data files available from CRS into a
form readable by PTT (personal ticker tape). PTT will take the output of
CRS.EXE and place the contents into Metastock files.
Usage:
CRS filename switch
where filename is the name of the file you want converted.
and switch is any character. Placing a second command line
parameter will cause crs.exe to not place a "del *.dat" line
in the zip.bat file.
CRS.EXE will get the date out of the file automatically.
It will output a file called YYMMDD.dat where:
YY = year
MM = month
DD = day
this way all the files are date encoded.
It will also create a file called z.bat. Z.bat is used with the U.bat file
included (yes I know, I don't get high marks for originality).
The command line for U.bar is:
U filename.zip
where filename.zip is the stock data file download from CRS in zip format.
U.bat will unzip it, run crs against it, then execute ptt to load the data
into your metastock files, zip the YYMMDD.dat output file and delete all of
unnecessary files that are lying around. NOTE pkzip must be in your path.
As a final note, this whole process may not work very well if you do not have
a registered version of PTT.
