While fixing the source is a good idea, it seems to me that the software in question should be corrected in such a way as to be more tolerant of minor variations in what it's asked to parse. It's not a complicated format.

Jeff,

It appears that this week's Keplerian bulletin, stored as the file "nasa.all" on the AMSAT web site, included extra carriage returns and line feeds, and that evidently is not acceptable to your tracking software.  The plain file "nasabare.txt" without the bulletin header does not suffer from this issue. 

We will investigate the cause of this problem and expect that it will be corrected for next week's bulletin.

Subject: [AMSAT-BB] AMSAT Keplerian data

 

Several of us that talk on the linear birds in the morning have noticed
that SatPC32's Satellites, Update Keps, selected keps file, routine
returns either a 'No Keplerian data found!'  or a 'Download failed'
error. I had to manually copy and paste the kep data from the AMSAT site
to get a fresh set.  I tried this on two different PC's here.  As I
haven't updated any of my s/w on this end I'm assuming this is an issue
on the AMSAT kep site. Anyone know what's going on here ?
