Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./home/cats/J/A_A/702/A248 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.
