Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./ftp/cats/VIII/5 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 1Jy:
* The 1Jy contains sources from the combined NRAO-MPI 5 GHz Strong
* Source Survey and Parkes 2.7 GHz Surveys. This is a coordinate-based
* naming system.
*Note on 3C:
* If the object was listed in the 3rd Cambridge Radio Catalog (Bennett
* 1961; 3C), then the full 3C designation is here. If not, then this
* field is blank. (see e.g. 3CR Catalog <VIII/1>)
*Note on PosRef:
* The positions listed for the object come either from
* radio-interferometry measurements (usually) or from the original
* surveys (occasionally). This two-letter code indicates the source of
* the coordinates and corresponds to those listed in the Appendix.
*Note on Class:
* If the object has been optically identified, this gives the class of
* the object as a three character code as described in the following.
* If it has not, this field is blank.
* QSO = Quasar
* GAL = Radio galaxy
* BL = BL Lacertae object
* EF = Empty field
* CF = Confused field (i.e., more than one object in the field)
*Note on Vmag and z:
* From Veron and Veron (1979) and Kuehr (1980).
*Note on alpha:
* The two point spectral index . . . as determined between 2700 MHz and
* 5000 MHz. The spectral index is defined as alpha in
* S(v) {prop.to} v^alpha^.
*Note on Fct, A, B, C, D:
* For sources with flux density measurements at more than three
* frequencies, an attempt was made to fit a simple analytic function to
* the spectrum. This field contains one of four values depending on the
* result of this fit:
* LIN = The spectrum was successfully fitted by a straight line of
* the form log(S) = A + B.log(v)
* In this case, coefficients C and D are blank.
* EXP = The spectrum was fitted by a function of the type
* log(S) = A + B.log(v) + C.exp(D.log(v)).
* All four coefficient fields contain data.
* CPX = Although there were sufficient data points for the source (i.e.,
* more than three) the spectrum could not be satisfactorily fitted with
* either of the above functional forms. Such a spectrum was designated
* complex because it would not be physically meaningful to devise some
* general analytic form to fit any spectral measurements (i.e. of
* variable sources whose spectra are generally complex). All four
* coefficient fields are blank.
* N<4 = There were data for no more than three frequencies and
* consequently no fit was attempted. All coefficient fields
* are blank.

*Note on S:
* All flux densities given are on the scale of Baars et al. based on the
* absolute radio spectrum of Cassiopeia A (1977A&A....61...99B): between
* 0.3 and 30 GHz it is given by a flux density
* S(1GHz) = 2723Jy and a spectral index
* alpha = -0.770 (epoch 1980.0).
* See Kuehr et al. (1981A&AS...45..367K) for a discussion of the details
* of the selection and compilation of flux densities. See also refs.dat
*Note on e_S:
* Flux density errors were either taken directly from the catalogue or
* were calculated according to the formulae given there.
*Note on r_S, RefSuf:
* This is the code number for the radio source catalog from which the
* particular flux density measurement came. refs.dat contains the radio
* source catalogs used and their attributes, sorted by code number. In
* one case the original catalog listed no source catalog and this field
* is blank. One source catalog code number (number 94) has three
* distinct catalogs associated with it, which are differentiated by
* , A, or B in the RefSuf field. In all other cases this field is blank.
* Note that RefNum values between 212 and 258 are unexplained.

*Note on RefNum, RefSuf:
* The code numbers appearing in the flux density data records. The file
* is sorted on this datum. In four cases this field is blank, but the
* suffix RefSuf contains an asterisk. This indicates a source catalog
* not directly referenced in any flux density measurement, but which the
* authors included in the Radio Source Catalogues list of the original
* paper. They are included here for completeness and are the first four
* source catalogs listed in this file. Code numbers 901-910 correspond
* to unpublished flux densities. One code number (RefNum=94) has three
* distinct source catalogs associated with it, which are differentiated
* by , A, or B in this field.
* An asterisk in the RefNum field indicates that the source catalog
* cited was not directly referenced in any flux density measurement,
* but was listed in the original paper as a source catalog.
* Note that RefNum values between 212 and 258 are unexplained.
*Note on Factor:
* This field gives the factor used to convert the flux densities in the
* catalog to the scale used (Baars et al., 1977A&A....61...99B). It is a
* ratio of the Baars et al. flux density scale to that of the source
* catalog at the frequency specified.
*Note on FluxLim:
* Before the data from a given source catalog were included in this
* compilation the values were checked against data on individual sources
* from all other catalogs to determine reliability. If there was a
* cut-off for inclusion from a specific catalog, that value is listed
* here.
*Note on Name1, Name2:
* If the catalog has a common designation (3C, PKS, etc.), it is listed
* here.
*Note on Text:
* The original paper or papers in which the catalog appeared. There are a
* maximum of three references for a single catalog.
