Owen,

Thanks for your answer.

I chose the SECGPN rather the CGPN, because the latter is restricted only to the data belonging to the location
and identification of the object, according the exact words of the read-me file. The SECGPN gives very interesting data
about optical diameters, fluxes intensities, radial and expansion velocities, central stars, etc.
On an other hand, the MASH catalogue has been turned into an extrafile some months ago by John Greaves (see messages
of the Guide users list), but Bill is a bit late to update the extrafile directory of the Project Pluto website :-)

I would look at the CGPN 2000 as that is perhaps more up-to-date
or even the MASH catalogue if you want to update the PN catalogues in Guide
