All,

I wanted UCAC2 identifiers so I added them. I made a writeup here:

http://www.tungstentech.com/Articles/Astronomy/UCAC2forCartesduCiel/tabid/68/Default.aspx

According to USNO the UCAC2 numbers are valid for this catalog so there 
is no reason not to add them. When UCAC3 comes out new new numbers are 
created but that's no big deal. Even then the 2UCACxxxxxxxx numbers are 
still valid references.

Thanks Patrick for providing the initial translation of the data and the 
catgen project file. Also thanks to Han Kleijn (HNSKY author) for 
explaining how to download and convert the raw UCAC2 catalog.
