The Struve catalogue will just be a subset along with many others of the
WDS. I should say that the reason that I am asking is that I am writing a
chapter for a book on double stars on computer star atlases and the way
they display double stars. So far only Megastar and SkyMap Pro actually
display symbols as part of the base program and I was kind of hoping here
was some hidden method for displaying the symbols. I assume Guide 8 will
use WDS 2001 ?
