For purposes of sorting alphabetically, the ASCII collating sequence was used. Space characters (example: The NORC) and punctuation (example: A'Hearn) were regarded as significant during the sort procedure. Case was not regarded as significant. For purposes of sorting by designation, chronological order was used; that is, 1929 RO precedes 1929 RB1. Palomar-Leiden and Trojan survey designations are grouped separately. Old style designations (pre-1925) are not included in the list. Due to the limitations of the ASCII character set, diacritical marks are lost in this machine-readable form. This version of the file contains the names and/or designations for all asteroids numbered as of the 1994 January 27 batch of Minor Planet Circulars and includes 5838 entries. David J.
