I know people have wrote programs for ls, more, cat, > rm and others, but no alias yet. Folks that are interested in this should look at replacing command.com with 4DOS, which provdies aliases, commandline editing, environment manipulations, and much more. In the meantime, aliases can be provided by batch files. I have seen a program that provided aliasing commands on a limited basis, perhaps on chyde.uwasa.fi. -- halcyon!ralphs@sumax.seattleu.edu (Ralph Sims) ralphs@halcyon.uucp or ralphs@halcyon.wa.com The 23:00 News - Seattle, WA USA +1 206 292.9048 (a Waffle Iron)
