The Second U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC2)

"no way" wrote in message ...
I just want to output them to a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) or TAB delimited
file, and then import them into either an SQL or Access database.
The CD's are free - there's FORTRAN source code on the CD. The data
format/structure is on there, but when I open the files, they LOOK binary..

Any kind, smart individuals out there feel like writing a little program and
just open this file for input, open a new file for output, and read, then
write and give me a header on top of the columns?

I really do not know what else to do...

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

Does anyone know of any OTHER software that will read the files?
Perhaps
something more friendlier?

HNSky will read/show them.

The file format is defined in the readme file
(http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/u2_readme.html) I don't have the time to
write a decoding program for you; try contacting a computer language
users group.
