Re: [guide-user] MPCOrb.dat interesting find

Denis Apr 29, 2007

Here what I did,

I removed all asteroids loaded to drive by Guide using no 2# disk for
extra asteroids and 1# for the 100 meg part. With no asteroid in Guide
folders at all. The problem appears to be in either the full MPCOrb.dat
or small one processed with my program. By taking the space out and
inserting a new one after the name, all labels came back. An old file
did not cause problems but it also does not have a space added prior to
the name. This would indicate that Guide uses the info when no asteroid
are loaded as part of the install. Am I right?
