Gordon, Most of these programs date back to the DOS and OS/2 days. At one point I started on a Python program which would:
Read and clean multiple Kep files. Remove duplicates, selecting the most recent. Rename objects to the AMSAT standard names. Sort the order of the objects. Write a file with only selected objects. I think I got half of the first line done before moving on to another, more urgent project. :) On my To Do list after I retire, for the 4th time. 73s, Alan WA4SCA <-----Original Message----- <From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org <[mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Gordon JC Pearce <Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 6:53 AM <To: amsat-bb@amsat.org <Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: TLE distiller / generator < <On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 06:25:49AM -0600, Alan wrote: <> Norm, <> <> There are some programs to sort and filter Keps here: <> <> http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php <> <> Over time, as version of Windows have changed, they have <stopped working on at least some of my <> machines.
