Jim:
can someone summarize which tools are able to produce [current] picks from [current] tab delimited data files?
(i.e., able to use any data source including VL, SIP, etc)

You are correct, only the original Radiscreen spreadsheet can.

But the Radiscreen spreadsheet requires running either your VL or SIP program and then exporting the all the specific fields your screens use to Excel. When I was using Radiscreen my export field list included almost 200 fields.
RunRadis is a different program that runs only SIP screens written in Radiscript. It runs directly from the SIP programs downloaded and installed db files. You can use any of the ~2000 factors from SIP.
The additional advantage is that it also does backtesting if you install the older historical monthly or weekly SIP programs from the AAII website and load them into a db. Easier and better than Radiscreen for SIP users, no help for a VL user.
