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.
