    Getting back old records, the discovery announcement of Masi's variable
near M27 was made in vsnet-alert 1096 (1997 August),

   http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Mail/vsnet-alert/msg01096.html

   and some details were provided in the subsequent vsnet-alert messages.

   This occasion was indeed substantially earlier than I start regularly
updating "newvar.cat", so was unfortunately overlooked when comparing with
the MISAO variable.  I had known from his page Masi had been suggested to
write an IBVS paper on this variable, I had a prejudice such a well-observed
variable should have been incorporated in any of recent GCVS/NSV updates!
