I am looking for an IBM-PC readable star catalog.  I have the printed
SKY CATALOGUE 2000.0 and know that SKYMAP is available in machine-
readable form -- but is there any way for me to get a few thousand
stars (say apparent magnitude 5.0 or brighter) into an IBM-PC program
without entering them all by hand?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Please leave me E-mail
on USENET or (in SF Bay Area) the WELL.
    Thank you --     Carter Scholz / 2665 Virginia / Berkeley CA 94709 /
