NAME:    
	dbcreate_xmm_txt
PURPOSE: 
	read in ascii xmm source list; 
 The format should be specified in the 1st line of the file, the name of 
 the columns in the 2nd line of the file. These should be separated by commas.

 The columns should be all or some of the following:
 xmmnr,ra(comp.),dec(comp.),radec_err,offax,vig,cts25,cts52,cts24,cts41,
 cts57,ects25,ects52,ects24,ects41,ects57,f25,f52,f24,f41,f57,ef25,ef52,ef24,
 ef41,ef57,hr1,hr2,hr3,ehr1,ehr2,ehr3,rosat_no
 ra and dec should be in degrees if the specified format is floating pt, hh 
 mm ss & dd mm ss resp. if the formats are character strings. radec_err should
 be in arcsec

 If given, fluxes are assumed to be in E-14 cgs
 If fluxes not given, the 3rd line should contain conversion factor from cts
 to flux for each band, ie for bands 25,52,24,41,57 in that order, separated 
 by blank spaces. (0.0 for absent bands). If fluxes given 3rd line should be
 blank.
