(fwd) NameList 75 CrossIDs (Greaves)

From: JG <jgts@jgws.totalserve.co.uk>
Subject: NameList 75 CrossIDs

With respect to NameList 75 the cross identifications in :-

http://ftp.sai.msu.su/pub/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/nl75/table2.dat

are probably more useful to variable analysis and/or chart making people
than most of the data in table1.dat.  Quite a few Takamizawa variables,
for instance, have made it to full 'namehood' in this NameList,
including TmzV085 = IY UMa.

Guide users may like to add this facility to the tdf provided in
vsnet-chat 02811 [and it's errata in 02812], however table2.dat can not
be used as is, and needs to be modified in order that Guide can 'read'
it.

The simplest way is to download table2.dat [above] and run the following
basic program:-

10 CLS : OPEN "i", #1, "table2.dat"
20 OPEN "o", #2, "NL75xid.dat"
30 WHILE NOT EOF(1)
40 INPUT #1, a$
50 b$ = LEFT$(a$, 9): c$ = MID$(a$, 13, 200)
60 PRINT #2, "~"; b$: PRINT #2, c$
50 WEND
60 CLOSE
70 END

and copy the resultant 'NL75xid.dat' file to the Guide home directory.

The TDF file from VSNET-CHAT 2811,2 will also need to be updated by
adding the two lines :

>~r  1   1 \n\nCross Identifications\n\n
>~n  7   9 NL75xid.dat

immediately prior to the empty line that precedes the line reading
'epoch 2000'.

(the > symbols must be excluded, they are here to avoid email code
problems.  '~' is the 'tilda' symbol)

Now, everything being equal, full cross ID data will apear after the
references in Guide 7's MORE INFO.

The ability to run basic code is diminishing however.

So, people not able to do this should note the following:-

table2.dat consists of:

'name' = 'cross_ID_data_or_remark'

on a line per record basis.

First of all each line should be made to start with the '~' {tilda}
symbol.

_Then_ each occurrence of the '=' symbol, _and_including_ the SPACE
character either side of it, should be replaced by a Carriage Return.
Most text editors will allow this via global search and replace.  If
worst comes to worst, it can be done by hand, but note there are over
2000 entries in table2.dat. (NB I've left the '|' {vertical bar symbol}
in the cross IDs alone: it is a minor annoyance which can be easily
recognised/ignored).

Probably more trouble than it is worth for most folk, this will be of
great assistance to those that actually need cross ID facilities.
