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:
Emissivities have been calculated for fine-structure components of
selected UV and optical recombination lines of HI and HeII. Results
are given for a range of electron temperatures and densities, and in
Cases A and B of Baker & Menzel (1938ApJ....88...52B). Relative
intensities, wavelengths and velocity shifts of the fine-structure
components are tabulated. Applications to the spectra of gaseous
nebulae are discussed. Depending on the temperature, density and Case,
the centres of unresolved lines can shift by up to 0.9km/s for HI and
3.3km/s for HeII. A new calibration of the H{alpha}-NII method for
determining electron temperatures is given.
