Re: Progress report: Mark IV online data

[Patrick Wils <patrickwils@yahoo.com>]

I have included a small Perl program, which you can feed with lines of
"RA Dec id" (RA and Dec in decimal degrees) to search for observations
within 0.01 degree of the given position in the online database.  It
then uses Compress::Zlib to decompress the gzip file into a file called
"<id>.txt" (or if "id" is missing, a file called "<RA><Dec>.txt"). 
This will save you some time (re)typing a list of coordinates.
