    Nothing showing in catalog numbers beyond those mentioned in Mike McCants's
    weekly posting on this group as of 08:40 UTC Feb 9, 2003.
    This would be in the extra catalog SCC keeps. IF they decide to move it
    into the public domain, I guess it will take a few days for permission
    to be given for publication, like the delays ( and degradation) of the
    Firestar optical range image.
