Description:
     Photometry is given for six data sets of SMC photometry, all in the
     V and I bands.  Field names in the file summary below are the names
     used in the STScI archive for the WFPC2 observations.  WFPC2
     observations of NGC 121 and the SMC fields reach limiting magnitudes
     of V=26 and I=25.5; ground-based observations cover a square region
     of 14.5 arcmin on a side and reach V=25.5 and I=24.5.
