   As is well known, IRAS PSC and FSC are not exclusive, as (probably)
in RXS.  Both PSC and FSC can refer to the same object in spite of
different cataloged positions.  I have encountered many of such examples,
but just list one.

235008.5 -141741 (2000.0) IRAS23475-1434 0.756 0.484L 0.400L 1.399L -1%
235008.5 -141741 (2000.0) SSC23475-1434 0.756 0.484L 0.400L 1.399L

235006.0 -141755 (2000.0) FSC23475-1434 0.779 0.276 0.174L 0.404L

   In such cases, IRAS FSC are often given improvements in fluxes and
position.
