DESCRIPTION
Aclist lists the supported astrometric catalogs specified by the
\fIcatalogs\fR parameter. If catalogs = "*" then all the supported catalogs
are listed, otherwise only the catalog names specified by the user are
listed. Valid catalog names have the form "catalog@site", e.g. "usno2@noao".
If \fIverbose\fR = "yes", then the catalog query and output formats are
listed after the catalog name.

The catalog names, addresses, query formats, and query output formats are
specified in the catalog configuration file \fIcatdb\fR. By default the catalog
configuration file name defaults to the value of the package parameter catdb.
The default catalog configuration file is "astcat$lib/catdb.dat".
Users can add records to this file or create their own configuration
file using catdb as a model.
