Re: [guide-user] Guide 9 - Representation of meteor showers

alfredo caronia Jul 8, 2013

Hello Bernd!

I need your help again please!

In reference to the last two lines of your email:

"*Mine is dating from Nov. 30th 2011. Know any meteor stream Discovered
afterwards
can not 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 finish you can have the date include them into this file or
correct the
existing ones.* "


could you explain:

- where you can find data files to the format compatible with Guide 9?

- with reference to which authority?

- and clicking on which link you can find exactly the data you want
to edit and
update?

I hope I have asked the question in an understandable way!

Thank you in advance!

Greetings!

Alfredo Caronia
