 R3.2 PDF
Acrobat 5.0 format Read-only |
I've updated the PDF file of R3.0 the Filemaker database. Version 3.2 adds to the better printing margins and other glitch fixes of 3.1 a fix to the Marathon sort order. (Sort order for items 28, 29, and 30 has been fixed.) (Big thanks to Jim "Rapid Eye" for for cathing this bug!) The PDF version has the advantage of being truly cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Unix). Acrobat Reader is available for free at http://www.adobe.com/.
The big disadvantage of this format is that it is "read-only," so you can't enter your notes, do neat sorts, etc. But you can print all or part of the log (206 pages) and put it in a notebook as a handy reference/field guide. Click here to see the list of "bugs" in version 3.0 of the PDF that were fixed in the new version. |

Palm, Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor |
Doug Hoy has graciously provided me with a copy of his PalmPilot (.pdb) import of The Ultimate Messier Log. It requires JFile or a similar database viewer to access. Mac, Unix and Windows users should be able to access this. You need to download it and install the resulting .pdb file onto your Palm using the Palm Desktop application. |

| Text-only, ASCII | Some people have e-mailed me because they do not have Filemaker, but would still like the data in the log in order to build their own databases in Microsoft Access(tm) or whatever... This ASCII file will let you do this. It is a tab-delimited text file. The first line of the file contains the names of the corresponding fields of the database.
For those of you who want to "roll your own" database, the images used in The Ultimate Messier Object Log can be downladed from the following URL: http://www.seds.org/pub/info/messier/m-small.zip |
