Description:
    The data are the results of a search for 1612MHz OH circumstellar
    masers in a colour limited sample of cool ORAS sources. Most of the
    observations were made at the Nancay radio telescope between January
    1986 and February 1988; some were observed or reobserved later,
    between 1990 and 1992.

History:
  * 15-Jul-2001: in table1, the IRAS source 08005+2356 (record #4)
    was corrected into 08005-2356.
    Several references were corrected and inserted in the "refs.dat" file.[CDS]
