Below is a request by Quirino, 6jzh.  Quirino is an older person using an
older program (probably DOS) called SATSKED, but he is having trouble
updating the Keplerian elements.

If you are familiar with this program could you help Quirino? I am not
familiar with this program and I can't find anyone who has used SATSKED.  I
see a reference on www.amsat.org in the satellite software area under MS-DOS
programs, Pacsat Programs, but I can't download any data from the link.

Quirino's email address is 6jzh at libero.it  He can read amsat-bb but is not
able to send messages???

Please read the following messages that he has sent me on this subject and
email him directly if you can help.

Mr RAY
Tnx for the callback
I'm OLD.man and don't have a great familiarity with digital, so You
understand why I use and tubes, DOS, istantrack and satsked..
I use amsat-bb for obtain keps and amsat bulletin, but I don't know how can
I use directly by me for a question of mine. I find SATSKED a great program
to use with Kansas city Tracker and Trakbox. In the past (KO 23) I used also
PBPG
With satisfaction for the easiness and even with satsked... Tell me how I
can ask to the amsat's friends OM.
TNX again Mr RAY for the kind answerback to my annoying question
