Derek,

My intention was that people would update themselves from
ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/MPCORB.DAT. However I noticed today
that the format is slightly different. You have to log in as:

user: anonymous
password: your email

The epoch is in a shorter format. I will have a closer look this weekend.


Clear skies, Han
