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:
    The results are given for the 516 sources that we have observed from
    La Silla (452 in the southern hemisphere, plus 64 in the range 0 to
    20deg). For each source, the IRAS name is given followed by the epoch
    of observation (with the convention given in Table 1), the J, H, K,
    L', M magnitudes that we have obtained, then three classifications
    based on IRAS Low Resolution Spectra (LRS), IRAS broad-band photometry
    (VH) and the combination of IRAS broad-band photometry with our
    near-infrared photometry (Val), and, finally, one association.
