It's included in the code, I'm afraid. When you ask for a list of currently
visible asteroids, Guide computes the current magnitude of each and every
asteroid it knows about, and gives you a list of those brighter than the
limit you specify.

It really has to do things this way, because the table depends on the
current date and time, where you are in the solar system, and the magnitude
limit. Also, if you used 'mpcorb.dat', the list would change every time
you updated 'mpcorb.dat'.
