It converts the alias text file into the data file and hash tables that elm uses. When you edit the alias text file on your own you need to run this program. (If you add an alias within elm, elm appends the alias to the text file and runs newlias on its own.) -- Rob Bernardo, Pacific Bell UNIX/C Reusable Code Library Email: ...![backbone]!pacbell!pbhyf!rob OR rob@pbhyf.PacBell.COM Office: (415) 823-2417 Room 4E750A, San Ramon Valley Administrative Center Residence: (415) 827-4301 R Bar JB, Concord, California
