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.

Abstract:
    We present preliminary results form a long-term program of mapping the
    neutral absorption characteristics of the local interstellar medium,
    taking advantage of Hipparcos stellar distances. Equivalent width of
    the NaI D-line doublet at 5890Å are presented for the
    lines-of-sight towards some 143 new target stars lying within 300pc of
    the Sun.
