Re: [guide-user] Missing Hipparcos-2 files
Bill J Gray Sep 17, 2008
Hi Dario,
Thanks for pointing this out to me (and to John Greaves,
via private e-mail, for pointing out that the problem is
now fixed).
The files were indeed unavailable for a while, but they're
back in place on VizieR. The ReadMe file gives some explanation
as to why the files were missing:
"...The first version of these files (between June and 15
September 2008) also contained errors corrected after this date."
and:
"...History:
* 09-Jun-2008: Original version (with errors)
* 16-Sep-2008: new files from author"
I am downloading the new files as I write this, and will see
if this works (don't see why it wouldn't, as long as the format
and number of records hasn't changed.)
