Bill,


About the trails' colors.

In the meanwhile, I have deleted the trail. I am not sure but maybe it is
one I added before upgrading to the latest version.
The new trails I add don't have the problem.

About the asteroids displaying as comets.

The file COMETS.DAT has the 'A' at the end of the line "(new asteroid)".
The problem arises not when I _add_ an asteroid, but when I _modify_
the data for an asteroid added previously (in fact at the second access to
the edit command).
I just made a try : I modified T0 for Ceres (add 0.1 day) and it remained
OK. Then I edited it again to reset T0 at its original value ant I have now
it displayed as a comet (magenta cross in a circle, with no label and the
label displays if I check "label" for _comets_).
Indeed, the 'A' has disappeared from COMETS.DAT. After I add it manually,
the correct display is restored.
Incidentally, I noted that the number of decimals for the elements of the
comets and asteroids is not the same and so the 'A' is probably moved one
or several char aside after the first edition and perhaps lost at the
second edition for this reason (not read because not found at the supposed
offset).
