 Hello Jason,

 I am bit suprised with Waldo Bastian 's message tone. I understand its 
content but not its tone. Does the log of the CVS mean that now both HEAD and 
Debian_branch use the catalog you have created and that Steinecke catalog has 
been discarded in all branches?. As you know from previous discussions I am 
happy with your catalog or with Steinecke catalog, but I would like that 
those who ask for pure free data be aware of the big effort you have made by 
creating a free NGC catalog. I know it is a shame there is so little free 
data in astronomy but you have made such an effort to overcome this problem 
by gathering yourself these data that it should be acknowledged.

best regards,

Pablo.
