FAQ

Short answers to common usage and attribution questions.

Why does WAMO run automatically after download

The loaded number, designation, comet, or MPEC is analyzed immediately. Local files can still be loaded or appended afterward.

What does “View WAMO Output” show

The unchanged original text returned by WAMO. The lower table is WAMO Inspector's interpretation.

Why are rows colored

Equal oppositions share colors. Orange marks the winner, blue the current row, and gray inferred or unknown values.

What does the cache do

The optional cache avoids repeated online calls. It can be disabled or deleted. SQLite WAL is never used.

Why can the app stop after 60 days

If a newer online version has been available for at least 60 days, old discovery logic should no longer be used. The app then points to the download page.

What is MPEC appending for

Additional MPC object data can be appended to an MPEC context to compare own or later observations with the issued MPEC.
