Hello Alfredo,

the information you are seeing / searching for are in an ASCII file called
"meteor.dat" in the Guide 9 subfolder "text".

Mine is dating from Nov. 30th 2011. So any meteor stream discovered afterwards
can't be included.

But I think you can edit this file with a simple text editor (not Word) after
making a copy of it. This can be done with many other ASCII files of Guide.

So when you have the data you can include them into this file or correct the
existing ones. The content of the columns are described at the very end of the
file. A more detailed explanation of the content of "meteor.dat" (also what is
shown using "more info") is given at the end of the file "cd_data_2.tdf" in the
section "file !:\text\meteor.dat".

I hope this information is useful for you.
