FORTRAN Generation
(/./ftp/cats/VII/85A)

Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for file /./ftp/cats/VII/85A 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 Type:
*   Two-character code (a letter followed by a number)
*   classifying the group according to its two brightest members:
*      S    The brightest galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
*      E    The brightest galaxy is not a spiral galaxy.
*      1    m(b) - m(a) >= 1.0
*      2    0.5 <= m(b) - m(a) < 1.0
*      3    m(b) - m(a) < 0.5
*      where m(a) and m(b) are the estimated red magnitudes of the brightest
*      and second brightest members, respectively, of the cluster.
*Note on MCount:
*   Number of galaxies in the group. Only those galaxies within three
*   magnitudes of the brightest galaxy are counted as members.
*Note on AngSize:
*   Angular diameter, in arcminutes, of the smallest circle containing the
*   geometric centers of all group members.
*Note on TotMag:
*   Total estimated red magnitude of those galaxies counted as group members
*   (see member count, above.)
*Note on Bmag:
*   Estimated red magnitude of the brightest galaxy in the group, in units
*   of magnitude.
*Note on Rshift:
*   Corrected redshift of the brightest galaxy. In all but ten cases this
*   field is blank.
*Note on Aname1, Aname2, Aname3, Aname4:
*   Other designations of the group, if any (at most, four).
