Re: [amsat-bb] instanttract 1,50 rev

Hi Art, 

Roger on the problems of updating keps into the new IT 1.50, try this and let 
me know if it works, 

Rename the keps file to no more than 9 letters and call it either a txt or 
ele file, then update in the normal way, you should find that all things will 
load then. 

Reason seems to be that DOS cannot handle long file names which is what our 
keps from the BBS arrive in, reducing the size of the name helps load the 
system, I did it with mine new software at the weekend and it worked like a 
dream. 

Hope that helps my friend,
