Note on table2.dat: observed positions, rms noise levels of the reduced spectra,
line component parameters and Galactic kinematic distances. The line parameters
have been obtained from Gaussian fits to the data and the distances have been
calculated using the Galactic rotation curves of Brand and Blitz
(1993A&A...275...67B 1993A&A...275...67B).
