What a mess.  It didn't look like that when I wrote it:

Target Hostname/Port                 Database   Userid  Password 
Preselected     Rank   Syntax     Encoding     Timeout Record type
AUS NATLIB     catalogue.nla.gov.au:7090     voyager                   
No           0     USMARC     MARC-8 0          MARC-8

LIBRARY OF lx2.loc.gov:210 LCDB                            Yes           
1     USMARC utf8           0     Bibliographic
CONGRESS

NEW YORKaleph.library.nyu.edu:9991 NYU01PUB                          No 
USMARC     utf8           0     Bibliographic
UNIVERSITY

OLIS library.ox.ac.uk:210          MAIN*BIBMAST            No           
2     USMARC     MARC-8         0 Bibliographic

I put AUS NATLIB and OLIS in because I have some books published in 
Australia or the UK.
