Abstract:
   The observation of lunar occultation phenomena allows for the
   determination of binary star data which can not always be obtained
   using classical techniques. No complete catalog has been compiled
   since that of Evans (1981a) in spite of a 99% increase in the
   available data. This catalog presents a catalog of photoelectric
   and occultation measures of binary and multiple systems complete
   through 1994.

Further information:
    Additonal information on the construction of the catalog is provided
    in occulcat.doc. The notes to the catalog are in occulcat.not and the
    references in occulcat.ref.

History:
  * 20-May-1998: notes.dat and refs.dat were transformed into data
    tables (from original files occulcat.not and occulcat.ref)
    at CDS (F. Ochsenbein)
