Hi Mike,
I had a look and I don't think this is the same list as the AL Double stars, which has been around for some time. If someone does have this list, please post it here so I can put it on my web site.
Note: if anyone tries entering these objects, please be aware of a problem that was recently brought to my attention at Okie-Tex. When you enter a designation for a double star into the Designation Search, e.g. STF 124, by default it will always return the last lettered pair in the system rather than the AB pair. If there are four components to STF 123 (A, B, C, and D) then if you enter STF 123 it will always return STF 123D. When creating your list take care to select the proper pair on the bottom right of the dialog before adding it to the list. You can directly enter the pair you want my appending the secondary component, such as STF123B.
I will have a fix for this in ST4 and a future update to ST3.
