- _N_e_w_a_l_i_a_s creates new hash and data files from a text file.
- If the program is invoked with the -_g (global) flag, the
- program updates the system alias files. Otherwise, the
- program looks for a file called $_H_O_M_E/._e_l_m/_a_l_i_a_s_e_s._t_e_x_t and,
- upon finding it, creates files $_H_O_M_E/._e_l_m/_a_l_i_a_s_e_s._d_i_r,
- $_H_O_M_E/._e_l_m/_a_l_i_a_s_e_s._p_a_g and $_H_O_M_E/._e_l_m/_a_l_i_a_s_e_s for the _e_l_m
- program.
-
- The format that the program expects is;
-
- alias, alias, .. = comment = address
- or
- alias, alias, .. = comment = alias, alias, ...
-
- The first form is for an individual user such as;
-
- dave, taylor = Dave Taylor = veeger!hpcnou!dat
-
- or optionally as;
-
- dave, taylor = Taylor; Dave = veeger!hpcnou!dat
-
- to allow the aliases to be properly sorted by last name.
-
- The second is for defining a group alias such as;
-
- gurus = Unix Gurus = alan, john, dave, mike, richard,
- larry, t_richardson
-
-
- Note that lines can be continued at will, blank lines are
- accepted without error, and that any line starting with '#'
- is considered a comment and is not processed.
-
- If the `comment', or `address' fields need to contain `='
- characters, those characters must either be escaped using a
- backslash character or the address must be inside
- doublequotes (`"').
-
- Aliases are case insensitive so dave and Dave are both the
- same alias.
-
- Finally, aliases can contain other aliases, and/or groups;
-
- unix = Unix people = gurus, taylor, jonboy

- Newalias has a couple of descriptive error messages which
- don't need to be detailed here. It is, however, worth
- noting that the _c_h_e_c_k_a_l_i_a_s program can be used to ensure
- that the aliases are in the proper order and are available
- for the _e_l_m system.
