[guide-user] Digest Number 3151
Jerry Bardecker Sep 13, 2018
Larry / All,
What I think is going on here is that for me,
and probably others, there is
NO link on the referenced page to download the
mpc.hee file.
Nowhere on the page can I get a right click to give a "save as"
option!
There is :
"^Click to download updated comet data and add it
to Guide//"
but it is not hot or clickable as a link, at least with the two
browser
options that I have tried. The page comes up as all plane
text.
I am very familiar with the "save as" option as that is what I use
on the
MPC page to download "MPCORB.DAT". So I know what should be
happening.
The page has a number of 'HTTPs://MinorPlanetCenter.net'
links and one for
IMCCE but none of them show as hot or
linkable.

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.heeRight 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.
