***** File COUNTRY.TXT The following table provides 2-digit Country Codes which the IHW adopted in the construction of SYSTEM Codes when an IAU Observatory Number did not exist for a particular observatory or facility. The Country Codes are on the left-hand side, and on the right is the resulting, generic SYSTEM Code. 'd' = IHW Discipline number and 'nn' = running observatory number within the particular country; the '500' following Discipline number indicates that no IAU Observatory Number exists. The reader is referred to the OBSCODES.TXT file within this directory for: a more complete description of how SYSTEM Codes were constructed, a few words of caution about occasional inconsistencies in the SYSTEM Codes, and, most importantly, tables of contributing IHW observatories on a Discipline by Discipline basis. Included in the latter are SYSTEM Codes, observatory names and locations, telescope/instrument descriptions, etc. OBSCODES.TXT is considered the most important file in this directory. ********** Assigned Country Codes Sorted by Name 05/15/88 98 Air borne (ground based) = d50098nn 01 Antarctica = d50001nn 27 Argentina = d50027nn 83 Ascension Island = d50083nn 26 Australia = d50026nn 28 Austria = d50028nn 71 Barbados = d50071nn 29 Belgium = d50029nn 30 Bermuda = d50030nn 31 Bolivia = d50031nn 64 Botswana = d50064nn 02 Brazil = d50002nn 03 Bulgaria = d50003nn 21 Canada = d50021nn 74 Canary Islands = d50074nn 32 Chile = d50032nn 33 Colombia = d50033nn 34 Costa Rica = d50034nn 79 Cuba = d50079nn 35 Czechoslovakia = d50035nn 22 Denmark = d50022nn 66 Egypt = d50066nn 25 Federal Republic of Germany = d50025nn 81 Fiji = d50081nn 19 Finland = d50019nn 04 France = d50004nn 73 Galapagos Islands = d50073nn 23 German Dem.
