Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./ftp/cats/III/47B into FORTRAN code for loading all data files into arrays.
Note that special values are assigned to unknown or unspecified
numbers (also called NULL numbers);
when necessary, the coordinate components making up the right ascension
and declination are converted into floating-point numbers
representing these angles in degrees.

*Note on ID:
* Name of star (Henry Draper number when available). Some H II regions
* and planetary nebulae are also included.
*Note on n_Mag1:
* A letter (A, B or C) signifying a component of a multiple system,
* a left parenthesis, (, for non-photoelectric visual magnitudes,
* or an asterisk (*) for Henry Draper magnitudes.
*Note on Mag1:
* For one star, HD 16157, this value is given as var? in the proof
* copy; in this version, 99.99 is used instead.
*Note on n_Mag2:
* letters signifying components of multiple system,
* the letter V (unexplained meaning, exists only for HD 23793A (suspected
* variable) and HD 24534 (variable X Per))
* the colon (:) for approximate (applies to Mag1)
* the plus (+) for greater than (applies to Mag1)
*Note on Mag2:
* Implies a multiple system. The comment fields specify the components.
*Note on n_Mag3:
* Letter signifying a component of multiple system to which Mag3 applies.
*Note on Mag3:
* Implies a multiple system. The comment fields specify the components.
*Note on SpType:
* Given in the customary form, except that upper-case letters are
* substituted for lower-case. The main spectral type is always in byte 58,
* leaving room in bytes 56-57 for Mount Wilson luminosity classes, such as
* SD and C. An asterisk (*) in byte 58 signifies an H II region or
* planetary nebula, according to the notation accompanying it.
*Note on RVel:
* Adopted radial velocity in the system of the GCRV. A value of 9999.9
* indicates that no velocity was given in the proof copy.
*Note on u_RVel:
* Colon (:) for approximation; or right parenthesis ")" for parentheses
* in the proof copy, which appear to indicate a question about the
* identity or type of the object to which the velocity applies.
* In one case, HD 196877, this byte contains a 9, which is the hundredths'
* digit of the velocity, and in another case, BD +40 4220 (suspected
* spectroscopic binary), this byte contains an *.
* This field can also be blank.
*Note on q_RVel:
* A rating from A through E, in the system of the GCRV.
* The rating itself will always be in byte 87, if given.
* Byte 88 can contain a question mark (?) or blank.
* A number of velocities were not assigned a quality rating.
* In two cases (HD 74712 and 195647), a value of "3" was assigned.
*Note on Npl:
* Total number of plates measured for all the velocities used to
* arrive at the adopted velocity.
*Note on u_Npl:
* Comment on plate count. Can be a question mark (?),
* a plus (+) meaning greater than, or blank.
*Note on ObsCode:
* Abbreviations for observatories (or observers), separated by commas.
*Note on GCRV:
* Catalog number given for the star by Wilson (1953, catalog <III/21>)
*Note on Flags:
* * Letter V (byte 110) for variable velocity, or else blank.
* * Letter M (byte 111) for known variable magnitude, or else blank.
* * Letter D (byte 112) for double or multiple star, or else blank.
