better yet, use a decent text processor rather than Word. Word is not good at
dealing with text files at all. Stuff like UltraEdit or TextPad should do the
trick. The former handles text files from any platform, and breaks lines as they
should be regardless.

If Word doesn't handle Unix style line breaks (I haven't really tried lately),
it just proves its lack of text file capabilities.

And while speaking of MPCORB, I'm still looking forward to having Guide being
able to handle MPCORB excerpts with discontinously numbered asteroids :)

Best regards,

Arild :)
