FORTRAN Generation
(/./ftp/cats/J/A_A/454/423)

Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for file /./ftp/cats/J/A_A/454/423 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 (1): Groups the objects for which emission line(s) (em.),
*     absorption-line(s) (abs.) or both (comp.) are detected in the
*     spectrum. The classification has been guided by the observed continuum
*     level and slope blueward and redward of the emission/absorption
*     feature, by the broad-band colors and the morphology of the targets.
*Note (2): Quality flag for the reliability of the redshift determination,
*           as follows:
*      A = solid redshift determination (150 objects)
*      B = likely redshift determination (57 objects)
*      C = tentative redshift determination (27 objects)
*      X = an inconclusive spectrum
*Note (3): The column contains additional information relevant to
*     the particular observation. The most common ones summarize the
*     identification of the principal lines, the inclination of an emission
*     line due to internal kinematics, the weakness of the signal ("faint"),
*     the low S/N of the extracted spectrum ("noisy"), the 20% light radius
*     ("Flux-radius" in ACS pixels) for objects classified as stars, etc.
