For Ken, and any others looking for a good list of stars near other:

I've given up on proofreading the original 2300 NSL.  There were just too
many errors, and I'd need to duplicate the original work to fix it all.
However, this has pretty much been done, and based on more modern data.  The
old NSL was based on Gliese's 1969 catalog (#2).  Gliese 3 (1991) has more
accurate data, and was transcribed from computer files.  A list and a couple
maps of it are available here:

Some stars have moved, and some moved all the way outside the 50 LY range.
But that's not a problem unless you are seriously attached to the original
2300 map...
