Thanks for attempting to help me with this Larry.  I'm still confused but looking into my files I show both a 16 KB Soft02Cm.txt dated today as well as a 147 KB Soft02Cmx file dated 3/7/2017. 

Refreshing the Add MPC Comets/Asteroids and viewing to 22 magnitude there are no recently discovered comets, leading me to question which file Guide 9 is actually working with.
