Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for
file /./ftp/cats/VII/1B into FORTRAN code for loading all data files into arrays.
Note that special values are assigned to unknown or unspecified
numbers (also called NULL numbers);
when necessary, the coordinate components making up the right ascension
and declination are converted into floating-point numbers
representing these angles in degrees.

*Note (1): the object type is coded as follows :
* 1 Open Cluster 6 Cluster associated with nebulosity
* 2 Globular Cluster 7 Non existent
* 3 Diffuse Nebula 8 Object in Large Magellanic Cloud
* 4 Planetary Nebula 9 Object in Small Magellanic Cloud
* 5 Galaxy 0 Unverified southern object
* Combination of two type numbers may appear for an object
* (such as 28 for a Globular cluster in LMC, etc)
*Note (2): The magnitude sources are coded as follows:
* 1 de Vaucouleurs (RC1, 1964) 5 Collinder (1931)
* 2 Zwicky (1961-1968) <VII/49> 6 Arp (1965) <VII/13>
* 3 Vorontsov-Velyaminov <VII/62> 7 Vorontsov-Velyaminov (1931)
* 4 Lindsay =1958MNRAS.118..172L 8 Bok (1962), Van den Bergh (1968)
* The complete references are given in the file "adc.doc".
*Note (3): data blocks, separated by commas, each describing an aspect
* of the visual appearance of the object from Dreyer's (1888) catalogue.
* The appearance aspects are written in the following order:
* (a) For nebulae the sequence of blocks is:
* brightness, size, shape, radial brightness variation,
* comments referring to the field.
* (b) For clusters the sequence is:
* identification (cluster), size, richness, compression,
* brightness of the stars therein.
* The various codes and abbreviations are detailed in Table 5 of
* the file "adc.doc".
*Note (4): The data blocks in the new description do not follow the
* regular sequence used in the old description.
* The description are decoded by taking each individual block of
* comma-separated data and finding the largest combination of
* letters present in the RNGC code table (Table 6 in file "adc.doc").
*Note (5): See Table 7 in file "adc.doc" for acronyms used in
* cross-references.
*Note (6): Some anonymous objects near NGC objects or components
* in multiple systems are assigned the same NGC number followed
* by a letter in alphabetic sequence
