- I edited this resource. It is indeed the word "alias" but it is not
- the " alias" that is appended to aliases when they are created. It is
- actually the string "alias" that appears when you, for example, view
- files by type.
-
- Does anyone the resource that contains the "alias" that gets stuck at
- the end of newly created aliases.
-
- Any slick programs out there that will prevent new aliases from being named
- `filename alias'?
