# convert MPCORB.DAT to 2 .edb files.
# Usage: [-f] <base>
# if -f then use ftp to get the script from harvard, else read it from stdin.
# <base> is a prefix used in naming the generated .edb files.
# Two files are created:
# <base>.edb contains only those asteroids which might ever be brighter
# than $dimmag (set below);
# <base>_dim.edb contains the remaining asteroids.
#
# mpcorb.dat is a service of the Minor Planet Center,
# http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps/mpc.html.

# Copyright (c) 2000 Elwood Downey
# 16 Mar 1999: first draft
# 17 Mar 1999: change output filename
# 4 Apr 2000: update arg handling and support new MPC file format.
# 6 Oct 2000: add -f
# 30 Jan 2003: add XCN.
# 24 Sep 2004: only remove files if downloaded fresh
# 1 Nov 2012: change from ftp to curl for better error handling.
# 4 Jul 2014: change download site
# grab RCS version

# MPC Orbit Database
# * The MPC Orbit Database (MPCORB) is available for downloading from the anon-ftp
# link ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/.
# Download either the complete file or daily updates.
# * Note that the security features used in this ftp server require that your
# machine be found in a "reverse DNS lookup" in order to access this site. A
# number of ISPs do not properly DNS-register their IP addresses: attempts at
# access from such ISPs will fail. You should complain to your ISP if your
# machine cannot access this ftp server.
# * You must also ensure that you have set your anonymous ftp password in your
# browser. This password must contain the "@" character. The default values for
# this setting in browsers such as Netscape and Mozilla will NOT work. (New
# requirement 2003 Aug. 27)

# This file contains published orbital elements for all numbered and
# unnumbered multi-opposition minor planets for which it is possible to
# make reasonable predictions. It also includes published elements for
# recent one-opposition minor planets and is intended to be complete
# through the last issued Daily Orbit Update MPEC. As such it is
# intended to be of interest primarily to astrometric observers.
#
# Software programs may include this datafile amongst their datasets,as
# long as this header is included (it is acceptable if it is contained
# in a file separate from the actual data) and that proper attribution
# to the Minor Planet Center is given. Credit to the individual orbit
# computers is implicit by the inclusion of a reference and the name of
# the orbit computer on each orbit record. Information on how to obtain
# updated copies of the datafile must also be included.
#
# The work of the individual astrometric observers,without whom none of
# the work of the Minor Planet Center would be possible, is gratefully
# acknowledged.
#
# New versions of this file, updated on a daily basis,will be available
# at: ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/MPCORB.DAT
# These files are rebuilt each night, generally between 02:00 and
# 03:00 EST (07:00 and 08:00 UT), except during the short period each
# month when the next batch of Minor Planet Circulars are being
# prepared.
