how to compile old mql4-files

HI All,
Not wishing to hi-jack this thread, but I have found a compiler to convert old MQ4 files to newer .ex4 files suitable for the new MT4.

Hope this helps.

1.study(shorttitle = "MACD 4C", title = "4 colour MACD")
2.fastMA = input(title="Fast moving average", type = integer, defval = 12, minval = 7)
3.slowMA = input(title="Slow moving average", type = integer, defval = 26, minval = 7)
4.lastColor = yellow
5.[currMacd,_,_] = macd(close[0], fastMA, slowMA, 9)
6.[prevMacd,_,_] = macd(close[1], fastMA, slowMA, 9)
7.plotColor = currMacd > 0
8. ? currMacd > prevMacd ? lime : green
9. : currMacd < prevMacd ? maroon : red
10.plot(currMacd, style = histogram, color = plotColor, linewidth = 3)
