PD is short for "Public Domain". A PD CD-ROM is one that hold 'the 500 best
of multimedia' etc., e.g. lots of PD and Shareware.
You may try the "Space & Astronomy" CD-ROM (available from Walnut Creek
CD-ROM (800-786-9907, internet:orders@cdrom.com, $39.95).

As I said you have to contact the author on how and whether to use his
files. As I understand it, the coordinate files are simple ASCII. They might
be formatted as a CAD system script file (is there a scripting in 3DS?) and
used to generate a 3D sphere with little spheres. They also might be used to
create a 2D bitmap texture.
