Volume 31-38 of Sig/M from the Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey Inc, contains the YALE catalog of bright stars (down to mag 7). It contains a 200 byte alpha-numeric text entry for each star with loads of data. The whole catalog is some 3 Mbytes long. It has both 1950 and 2000 co-ords. I have a reduced version (approx 30 bytes/star) which reduces the whole catalog to about 270 Kbytes. It contains Position (2000 only), mag, color, and proper motion. I could post a copy to net.sources if there is sufficient interest (or conversely if there is sufficient lack of outcry at the posting of such a huge file). Bruce Stock Boeing Aerospace
