has anyone had this error recently in CDC?

[h0ughy (David)]

just tried to update the comet ephemerides and I found I got this error. Has anyone else received the same error?

Got that error in Version 2.76, Version 3 beta loaded OK.

This the Beta version:

Looks good. You will have to do some re-configuiring though.

Yes I had this problem the other week. I can't remeber where I found the answer now, but the problem is with the web address. They have changed it from cfa-www.harvard to www.cfa.harvard. The full address is as follows:

http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/Ephem.../Soft06Cmt.txt

To update the program, edit the file 'extres.ini' in the main program directory (C:\Program Files\ciel if you installed it in the standard place).

Replace all instances of 'cfa-www' with 'www.cfa' and it will work again.

I'm sure I don't need to say backup the old 'extres.ini' file first

The normal stuff you got to do, pointing at catologs etc, try it, better interface than the older version.

JohnG

[h0ughy (David)]

does it use the same catalogues as in 2.76? I have those downloaded. If not where?

[JohnG (John)]

After install, go into setup and just point it at the catologs you already have, if you havn't got the latest, look here:

The interface is slightly different than what you are used to, a lot clearer.
