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 effective collision strengths are presented in this table for
    all transitions among the lowest 23 fine-structure levels of Mg VI.
    Each fine-structure level is assigned an index number in Table 3
    of the manuscript ranging from 1 to 23. These index values are
    reproduced here in Table 5 to depict a particular transition.
    eg. Index 1-3 denotes the transition
    2s(2)2p(3)4SO(3/2)-2s(2)2p(3)2DO(5/2)
    The effective collision strengths for each transition are presented
    in rows for a number of electron temperatures ranging from
    log(T)=5.0 to log(T)=6.1. A superscript indicates the power of 10
    by which the number should be multiplied.
