This paper joins a series compiling consistent emission line measurements of\nlarge AGN spectral databases, useful for reliable statistical studies of\nemission line properties. It is preceded by emission line measurements of 993\nspectra from the Large Bright Quasar Survey (Forster et al. 2001) and 174\nspectra of AGN obtained from the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on HST prior\nto the installation of COSTAR (Kuraszkiewicz et al. 2002). This time we\nconcentrate on 220 spectra obtained with the FOS after the installation of\nCOSTAR, completing the emission line analysis of all FOS archival spectra. We\nuse the same automated technique as in previous papers, which accounts for\nGalactic extinction, models blended optical and UV iron emission, includes\nGalactic and intrinsic absorption lines and models emission lines using\nmultiple Gaussians. We present UV and optical emission line parameters\n(equivalent widths, fluxes, FWHM, line positions) for a large number (28) of\nemission lines including upper limits for undetected lines. Further scientific\nanalyses will be presented in subsequent papers.\n
