   We have this kind of "alias database", whose sample (internally used,
not complete) is seen at:

   http://ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/Mail/vsnet-obs/alias.lst

   The VSNET data search engine uses this database to convert reported
observations to newer designations.

   If further aliases as reported in this format, we would be very glad
to add them.  Perhaps vsnet-id would be the most suitable list.
