I have recently been sent a copy of a Pathalias 8.1 (old)
that someone modified to work with temporary files rather
than RAM. It seems to compile and run under System V/AT 2.2L.
The problem is that it is 8.1 and cannot handle the new 9.x feature
of terminal hosts. ( I think that is the term I want ). i.e.
<host1>(DIRECT), host2(POLLED). It sees the <> and gives a syntax
error and completely ignores the entire line. Makes for useless
paths files. Anyway, to get to the point, I am willing to mail this
shar file to some people, in the hope that it can be modified for
the newer pathalias. 

If anyone is interested, I will e-mail them the shar file, it is
about 80k. Naturally, I would like the fix, if anyone comes up with
one.

ALSO: While someone might still be reading this :-) 

	Does anyone have a working Rn on System V/AT 2.x,
	and would be willing to send patches or advice.
	I have Rn patchlevel 39, it compiles but then
	gives a SIGSEGV and restores the .newsrc file
	with consistent regularity.
