Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./ftp/cats/J/AJ/142/61 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.
