Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./ftp/cats/J/A_A/694/A26 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.

* their theta_dcon_ are considered the upper-limit values. The upper-limit of

* the distribution of beam sizes from the CORNISH survey.
*Note (2): "---" means that the alpha is unreliable and not adopted.
