FORTRAN Generation
(/./ftp/cats/J/A_A/591/A21)

Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for file /./ftp/cats/J/A_A/591/A21 into FORTRAN code for reading data files line by line.

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): Observational error, Sigma, obtained from the standard deviation of
*  the control-comparison differential light-curve.
*Note (2): For each light curve, we estimated the F parameter, defined as the
*  ratio of the variance of the object-comparison light curve ({sigma}^2^_o-c_)
*  to the variance of the control-comparison light curve ({sigma}^2^_k-c_).
*  If F=({sigma}_o-c_)^2^/({sigma}_k-c_)^2^>=F_n_^{alpha}^, the object is said
*  to be variable, being F_n_^{alpha}^ a critical value. This critical value is
*  calculated for a set of n=N-1 degrees of freedom, where N is the number of
*  points in the light-curve, while {alpha} is chosen to determine the desired
*  level of confidence. If {alpha}=0.01, then the F test has a 99%
*  confidence level.
*Note (3): gamma corrective factor as described in "Howell S.B., Warnock
*   III A. & Mitchell K.J., 1988AJ.....95..247H".
