Hi Lawrence,

You could try my MPCORBcr Sorting program.
You can find it at

http://www.mountabbeydale.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/software.htm

Things to be aware of.

(1) You must only use MPCORBcr.dat
(2) MPCORB.dat (if used previously) should be removed from the Guide8
directory.
(3) Visual Basic should be installed on your PC

I wrote it so that I could see the wood from the trees so to speak.
You can choose to show just certain classes of asteroids in Guide.

If you do try it, feel free to ask if you have any problems.

Best Regards

Alan

PS My scope has been fixed! It just cost 15p for a new capacitor!
