Description:
    We present a compilation of radial velocities for 867 galactic
    planetary nebulae (Table 2.ps [postscript format] and Table2.dat
    [ascii format]).

Note (1): SB 44 and SB 45 having the same PN G number,
          SB 44 = PN G356.0-7.4A, SB 45 = PN G356.0-7.4B
Note (2): Final data are calculated by a weighted average (see the article for
           more explanations)

History:
  * 09-Oct-1998: First version which included a few errors in PN
      cross-identifications.
  * 23-Oct-1998: Problems in cross-identifications fixed.
