if anyone needs code that reads the scid file, see below...
the header and record structure defs are here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_IntradayDataFileFormat.html

(there is a small typo in the header struct)


// get the file name from the symbol
  SCString filename;
  filename.Format("%s.scid", sc.Symbol.GetChars());

  FILE * fp;

  fp = fopen(filename.GetChars(), "rb");

  s_IntradayHeader header;

  if (fp == NULL)
  {

    return;
  }

  fread(&header, sizeof(struct s_IntradayHeader), 1, fp);

// we have the header, now read the records

  s_IntradayRecord rec;
  while (fread(&rec, sizeof(struct s_IntradayRecord), 1, fp))
  {
   // do something with the record
  }

  fclose(fp);
