Check out the FAQ for sci.astro. The answer you seek is there (and,
interestingly, a pointer to the Traveller:2300/2300AD starmap :)
Specifically, you can ftp "The Catalogue of Stars in 25 Parsecs of the
Sun" from ames.arc.nasa.gov in pub/SPACE/FAQ/stars.data & stars.doc or
you can get the Yale Bright Star Catalogue (check the FAQ)...The 25
Parsec file has RA and parallax (1/parallax gives you the distance in
Parsecs, as I recall) plus a bunch of other info that's probably more
than you want to know...Good hunting!
