The catalog.dll allow to access the catalog data file used by Cartes du Ciel
All the stuff here consist of Pascal source code for use with Delphi 4.
But it is possible to use the DLL with any other programming language.
The only change to do is to convert the declarative from catalogues.pas
to your language. 
Send me the file to include here if you do that for a well know compiler.

Files :
- catalog.dll    : a precompiled DLL
- catalog.dpr    : Delphi project to compile the DLL
- catalogues.pas : declarative for all the DLL function (the interface file)
- demo.exe       : demo executable that use the BSC catalog
- demo.dpr       : Delphi project to compile the demo 
- demo1.pas      : the demo source including some usage explanation
- other *.pas    : specific unit for each catalog used by the DLL
