merlin66,
The original WR catalogue (which can be found at the following link)
http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bi...I/215#sRM-F.54
uses multiple cross-references. For instance, #31b in the original
WR catalogue is AG Car in Table 15, but also = HD 94910 in Table 13.
In fact, Table 13 gives star name, variable star name, or planetary
designation -- all in different columns.
So if you want a search index, you would have to merge Table 13 and
Table 15, collect the search index names that you want into a single
column, then build with CatGen.
In fact, any custom catalogue that you build for
Cartes du Ciel may
first require some editing (using a program to fill in blank entries
with a dummy value, for example).
