Hi Wayne, > I've been trying to use Rob Matson's collision avoidance prediction > program cola.exe and cannot get past the last entry, which is "duration > of search (days)" - any number I put in give me the message "start date > is ****** past the epoch of the target satellite. ... There was a Y2K bug in that version as you surmised. (Ted Molczan discovered this bug back in January, and Bjoern Gimle discovered a similar bug in ALLCOLA in March). COLA was updated on 1/24 and sent to a few people, including Ed Cannon who I believe posted it on his site. I'll be sending it and ALLCOLA to Mike McCants within the hour, so anyone running COLA with a creation date prior to 1/24/2000 or ALLCOLA with a creation date prior to 3/28/2000 needs to upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience, Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
