Description:
Continuous spectrophotometry has been obtained for 200 objects at a
resolution of 10-17 A over the wavelength region 360-1000nm.
Kron-Cousins BVRI colors are computed for the spectra and compared
with published photoelectric photometry. The (V-R)_C color index is
used to group the individual observations to form standard spectra
types by stellar class. The standard groups include a solar abundance
sequence of most spectral types and luminosity classes, metal-rich and
metal weak G-K giant-branch sequences, and horizontal-branch giants.
The standard spectra are presented in FITS files, of which a summary
is contained in the "list.dat" file.

* 13-Jul-2001 [CDS]: the FITS spectra originally defined as 3-D images,
were converted to 1-D spectra
