The Asteroids II Machine-Readable Database was delivered to the ADC on floppy diskette. On Disc 1, an introduction to the database is given in file INTRO.DAT, on Disc 2 the introduction is in table Aster_Intro in file ASTEROID.FIT. The introduction lists the names of the other files in the database. Because of the addition of FITS table headers on Disc 1, and the file naming conventions adopted for the CD-ROM, some of the names have been changed, however the introduction was left intact as delivered. -- Lee E.
