If you delete the first 44 rows/lines, which is the application specific 
coding, you just have a fix length ascii text file with data fields column 
fixed in position.  The column headings are the line just prior to the main 
data starting.

I have heard that Carte du Ciel users can use such basic files, and that 
other planeteria can import such files.

So basically, the data are there in the rows and columns of that file from 
line 45 onwards, folk just have to figure out how to apply them to their 
particular package of preference.

Cheers
