This standardized document follows the rules of the Standard Description for Astronomical Catalogues. For those having to work on this catalogue using FORTRAN programs, this ReadMe file can be transformed into a f77-compliant program which reads the files making up this catalogue, in two versions: either a f77 program loading whole files into arrays, or a f77-program reading each data file line by line.

Description:
    We present a grid of stellar classification spectra of moderate
    resolution (R~1500) in the range lambda lambda 5600-9000A, compiled
    from high signal-to-noise spectra of 275 stars, most in the open
    clusters Praesepe and M 67. The grid covers dwarfs from types B8
    through M5, giants from G8 through M7, and subgiants from F5 through
    K0. We catalog atomic and molecular absorption features useful for
    stellar classification, and demonstrate the use of
    luminosity-sensitive features to distinguish between late-type dwarf
    and giant stars.
