Hey Konrad-
I don't see that the answer to this question (MS 7 col or 8 col) makes any difference in the conversion process. I tried both ways and the source file they send to you is the same. d/l your Forex file, e.g., FOREX_20050812.txt. Open the Downloader. Select TOOLS | CONVERT; Source Type= Ascii text; Destination Type= MS; OK. Then you can open the files with the Downloader or MS.

hmm... I don't know. :( I tried the files for you per your original question to see if I could get it to work at all. I guess if you want to check out other file types just check the option, d/l the file, and compare for differences.
Sorry.
