*****************************************************************
The YALE CATALOGUE OF BRIGHT STARS is in the public domain, and
this documentation on the catalogue was extracted almost verbatum
from a booklet, also in the public domain, whose preparation
was funded by:
This database is revision 3 of the Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars,
and it was obtained on 9 track tape on March 17, 1981 from:
Dr. Wayne Warren
National Space Science Data Center
Code 601
Godard Space Center
Greenbelt, Md 20771
Dr. Warren says that revision 4 of the catalogue is due in late
1981, and that it will have revisions in the magnitude and color
data for about 10% of the stars. The National Space Science Data
Center does NOT have the capability of supplying the data base
or revisions on floppy disks.
The people who funded the documentation of this catalog, and the
people who did the documentation work for a living. PLEASE DO
NOT MAKE THEM COMPLETELY UNPRODUCTIVE BY CALLING THEM UP FOR
INFORMATION.
The documentation is all here in this file. Two programs written in Micro-
soft BASIC, Version 5.2 (also Basic86 and GWBasic), STAR.BAS, showing how to
access the data and STARVAL.BAS, which reads all of the database and performs
a SIMPLE check to verify database integrity are on this disk. The database,
called STARx.DAT, is on this and three additional disks. First unsqueeze the
files with USQ - they become some 130% larger, so be sure you have disk space
for that!

A byte-by-byte description of the contents of the catalogue
is given in Table 2-1. The information in the "Description"
column is derived mainly from the published version of the
catalogue whenever possible. The "Suggested Format" column
is for FORTRAN-formatted reads.
