    Ron,
    
    If you mean the Full Catalog File from SpaceTrack, then the answer is that their CR/LF are in UNIX format, not DOS. You can find a utility named UNIX2DOS here: http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/niche/unix2dos.html
    
    It's small, easy to use, and is freeware. It will convert the Catalog text file (UNIX) to a DOS text file and SkyMap will be happy.
