Howard,

Thanks for a most useful utility. Now I just save my Space-Track data, run my
little convert.bat (newkeps -> satrename -> tle2pdb ->newkeps.pdb) and out comes
Palm Pilot ready KEPS! I LOVE IT!!  Not as easy as going to Alain's site but
very cool not having to go thru the Space-Track data and renaming the sats.

Thanks again for a great time-saver.
