You have missed the first step. You have to download the new file named
*add_mpc.hee* that Bill posted the link to in the e-mail on about Sept 8.
In case you deleted that message here is the link.
https://www.projectpluto.com/add_mpc.hee
Right click on the page and click on < save as > and allow it to download to your
computer.
This new * add_mpc.hee* replaces the old file of the same name that exists in your
Guide directory. It will ask if you want to replace the old file --you click ok.
In your Guide directory
The 16 KB file soft02cm.txt is the wrong one. Open it and you will see it is in
HTLM. The right one is ~ 159 KB, but the one you have of a simila size is too old
so delete both of them and download the new correct soft02cm.txt file the get when
using the corrected *add_mpc.hee* file.
