+THE CATALOG SECTION
+
+ The catalog section is used to assign names to columns in the
+ standard star catalog, and optionally, to associate error columns
+ with the named columns.
+
+ The catalog section begins with the keyword catalog, followed by
+ any number of name and error(name), column associations.
+
+ Syntax
+ catalog
+
+ name number
+
+ error(name) number
+
+ The first declaration creates a name column number association. It
+ consists of a name followed by a column number. The name becomes
+ the variable name for that column.
+
+ The second declaration creates an error (name) column number
+ association. It begins with the keyword error, followed by a name
+ in brackets and a column number. The name must be the name of an
+ input column previously declared in the catalog section. The error
+ declarations are optional.
+
+ The column number must be a decimal integer greater than two, since
+ catalog files always reserve the first column for a matching name.
+ This name is used to match objects in the catalog file with objects
+ in the observations file.
+
+ Example
+ # Sample catalog section for the UBV system.
+
+ catalog
+
+ V 2
+ error(V) 3
+ BV 4
+ error(BV) 5
+ UB 6
+ error(UB) 7
