   At present NED contains extensive CROSS-IDENTIFICATIONS for over 200,000
 objects -- galaxies, quasars, infrared and radio sources, etc.  NED provides 
 POSITIONS, NAMES, and BASIC DATA (e.g. MAGNITUDES, REDSHIFTS), as well as:
    > BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES:  (a) provided by SIMBAD for 1983 to 1989
        (b) derived by NED for several journals since January 1990,
    > ABSTRACTS: collected by NED from several journals since 1988,
    > NOTES: from major catalogs such as the RC1, MCG, Hubble Atlas, etc.

  This interface assumes that you have a VT100 terminal, or VT100 emulation.
    (VT102, and members of the VT200 or VT300 series will also work)
