I am very interested in the Smithsonian Star catalog. However, I have no way of unpacking these things, as they were done in a Unix specific manner and I don't use Unix. (See my supernova-sized flame in comp.arch over a similar problem with the Dhrystone postings). Is this thing available anywhere for ftp - ALREADY UNPACKED? Also, I would like a little bit more data than in these listings. I also have access to the tapes, and can, if necessary, do the compression myself, but I'd rather not have to. Any help, anybody? If I do make a somewhat larger excerpt, I will make them available on tape or IBMPC floppies - it will truly be too big to post. Doug McDonald (mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu)
