- You might want to check out a program at sumex, maybe in the /util
- directory, called alias-101.hqx. It is a small, free program that
- allows you to create aliases in system 6. The creation process is
- not quite as simple as it is for sys7, but I used it for a while
- before upgrading, and found it to be useful enough to warrant
- the extra work. (It's actually not that much work.) Didn't notice
- any major bugs in the three or four months that I used it.

- Hope this helps,
