I notice the satellite txt file supplied on the dvd does not have the
standard columnar tle file that I download from Spacetrack. Is there a
conversion utility used to generate the Guide txt file or can I just
load the standard tle file in the satellite folder in the Guide
directory as I do in other satellite tracking programs??
