12.4.3 Alias listings

         The alias list file is a plain vanilla ASCII file with one
         alias definition per line. Alias definitions are useful to
         allow remote systems to use the same name when requesting
         files that change frequently, such as a file list or another
         file with similar contents. The remote system simply requests
         the "alias" and FD will send whatever files you have defined
         to send for that alias.

             Eg.     FRODO       C:\FILES\FDKIT.ARJ
                     XR          C:\FILES\XROBOT.ARJ
                     RACCESS     C:\FILES\RA*.ARJ
                     MYSECRET    C:\TEST1.ARJ C:\TEST2.ARJ

         The remote system can request FRODO, XR, RACCESS or MYSECRET
         and get the above specified files. Files listed as alias
         names do not have to be located in requestable (see
         "Directory listings") directories.

         Two separate alias files can be defined in FDSETUP under
         Mailer > File requests. The first one, ALIAS, is used for
         unprotected sessions. The second one, SECALIAS, is used for
         password protected sessions; allowing you to make different
         alias definitions available for Request depending on the
         status of the session. If no SECALIAS file has been defined,
         FD will use the ALIAS file for password protected sessions as
         well.
