I am using SCID continuous futures data files. In your previous versions the maximum file size could be restricted with the excess dumped into a -1 file. In the current versions this restriction does not exist. Therefore my data files are getting too large. How can these files be restricted either size-wise or oldest date-wise? The preferred method would be a method of truncating off data older than a specified date or back a specified number of days from current date. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
