Data on CD-ROM.

I posted some software the other day.  It's purpose is to
process raw starlists into one big merged database.  If
you download the tar file you will still need 1) to compile
and install it.  2) all the raw data files.  3) about 30
or 40 hours of compute time.

It just occured to me that I could supply the database itself
pre-computed on CD-ROM.  One would then only need a working
Postgres installation.  The software I posted is only required
if you want to process additional raw data.  This would let
someone starting from scratch get to the place I am at in only
about an hour or two.

I could also supply ASCII files on CD-ROM should anyone want
it.  These files could be imported to something like Access,
dBase or the like.
