Description:
This file mainly provides a standardized description of the tabular
material composing the NSV catalogue; please refer to files:
* "intro": the original 1981 introduction by the authors
* "adc.doc" (plain ascii) or "doc.tex" (LaTeX version):
the documentation for the machine-readable version by W.H. Warren

'*' if note in published version

Note (1): "D" denotes that a star has effectively been deleted from
the NSV, although the data are left intact.
Note (2): if byte 49 (n_MinMag) is
=> an unpaired '(' (byte 61, f_MinMag, is not a right parenthesis)
means that MinMag is a bright limit, i.e. '(' has the same meaning as '>'
=> a paired '(' (byte 61, f_MinMag, contains a right parenthesis ')')
means that MinMag contains a light amplitude instead of a
magnitude at minimum.
Note (3):
"K" if cited paper has chart or photograph of the star field with the
suspected variable marked;
"D" if paper does not have chart but star is catalogued in one of the
Durchmusterung catalogs (BD, CD, CPD).
"*" appears for the four stars NSV 12438, 12566, 13274, and 13473,
connected to the two references
731676 (flagged with "K" or "*") and
741493 (always flagged with "*")
