Second - Instructions for Importing Ascii Data to  ---> Tiger
              ......... Example shown beneath the blue general instructions.

Importing Ascii Data to TIGER:
1. Start the PEERCOMM program by starting Tiger Investment Software.
2. Select the "Tiger Stocks" sub-menu at the top of the 8-button screen.
3. Choose Import Stocks to TIGER.
4. Select Ascii.
5. Fill in the information about the source data files:
OPENING (omit if your TIGER software
does not use openings.)
HIGH
LOW
CLOSE
VOLUME
MM/DD/YYYY
6 -Enter a symbom for the denominator in relative strength analysis.
(DJI-30 is normally used with TC-2000)

7. Enter the directory where the temporary ascii data is located.

8. Enter the Tiger directory where you want the converted data to be
saved to. Typically this is C:\stocks. It may also be
another directory provided you have first built such a
directory using the SELECT button from the 8-button PEERCOMM screen.

9. When you save the data to a directory, it replaces whatever is there.

10. When the data has been successfully converted, you may then run the
TIGER graphing or ranking/flagging programs. Note the messages you
get during the conversion process. You should be told that the
files have been successfully created. If not, carefully repeat
the steps above. Be sure NOT to pick all stocks as your watch list.
If you do, you will have to delete all the files in the directory
that houses your ascii data or use a new directory dedictated
to that purpose.

11. At the 8 button screen do not use the Download or BBS buttons.
The Download Button is for Dial Data users and the BBS button
is obsolete now that you can get the Peerless index data, hotline
and special reports from www.tigsoft.com. ($535/year includes updates
for 2003)

7. For Ascii Source Folder choose the location of your data.
Note that all the data should be in one location. It does
NOT have ot be only a year long as I first stated.

8. Specify the file to be used for Relative Strength purposes.
If there is a file with the FTSE index itself, pick this.
If not, pick any other file you wish to designate for this.

9. Discard 1 line of data for each file. This is the header line.

10. For the Tiger Folder (where the converted data will go)
pick the name of the Tiger Directory you have just built.

to Get Symbols' List "from file names". If not, you may
build a list of the files to be converted and post its name.

Then click import.
Note any bad symbols. You may have ot take these out because
the data is corrupted or inadequate.

Then try a graph of any of these symbols.
