        !            12: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            13: The \fIisoentities\fR file contains information regarding the known
        !            14: application-entity titles (AETs).
        !            15: This file is used by the stub\-directory service in ISODE.
        !            16: .PP
        !            17: Entries are separated by blank lines (or the end\-of\-file).
        !            18: Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters,
        !            19: though double\-quotes may be used to prevent separation between arguments.
        !            20: The character `#' at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line.
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: Each entry consists of four items:
        !            23: the first two,
        !            24: the designator and qualifier,
        !            25: for the object descriptor of the application-entity information
        !            26: (the distinguished designator \*(lqdefault\*(rq is used for a template entry);
        !            27: the third item is the object identifier of application-entity
        !            28: information in dot-notation
        !            29: (if no application-entity information is desired the string
        !            30: \*(lqNULL\*(rq should be used instead);
        !            31: and the fourth item is  the entire presentation address expressed using
        !            32: the ISODE string format.
        !            33: Note that since double-quotes are often used in the new string format,
        !            34: it is \fBvery\fR important to quote them correctly in the
        !            35: \fIisoentities\fR file.
        !            36: Usually preceeding the first character of the address with single backslash
        !            37: is adequate.
        !            38: .PP
        !            39: It is suggested for readability purposes that a blank line should
        !            40: seperate entries.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: Note that this database is used by the stub-directory service in ISODE.
        !            43: A real directory uses an entirely different mechanism for resolving lookups.
        !            44: The stub-directory mechanism in ISODE transforms the internal AET
        !            45: notion (the object identifiers) into one which appears to have come
        !            46: from a real directory (i.e., application-entity information).
        !            47: .SH "RFC1085 SUPPORT"
        !            48: Since applications using RFC1085 (the lightweight presentation protocol)

        !            50: a further definition for the qualifier is placed in
