The data of the french association of variable star observers - AFOEV - (about 2 millions observations) are stored at the "Centre de Donnees Astronomiques - Strasbourg Observatory" and are available, free of charges, at the adress ftp cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5). The database is organized into directories, one for each constellation, each star allotted its own datafile. Observations are sorted according chronoligal order. The SN are more and more numerous and are classified into the directories of the constellations in wich they appeared ; it is then necessary to know the name of the constellation. Question : would it be better to create a separate directory for SN's ? Many thanks for Your opinion and for Your comments E. Schweitzer - AFOEV afoev@astro.u-strasbg.fr afoevb@aol.com
