  Ah.  Well, I sent a message in March saying that I had placed the full
variable star list on our web site 
      ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/tass/tassvar.cat
but maybe it didn't get copied to Michael's computer.  This list contains
every known variable (plus a lot of suspected variables) in the +-5 degree
zone, with proper J2000 coordinates, and I'd recommend using it when
deciding whether a variable is new or already known.
  The listing therein sez
  36.50911215 -0.17841685 R     Cet  M             7.2       14.       V  43768.
          166.24
