└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Alias allows you to run chains that support CHAIN.TXT, but only support the
use of real names instead of handles. Alias will replace the real name in
CHAIN.TXT with the alias.
Alias also works with CHAIN.002, CHAIN.003, etc., that are possible with WWIV
v4.23.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Usage:
ALIAS CHAIN.TXT
Here's an example batch file showing how to use it:
@ECHO OFF
ALIAS %1
CD CHAINS\ONLINER
GAME
CD\WWIV
The %1 above is required under v4.23 because of the multi-instance environment
which it provides. You must set up a chain in CHAINEDIT to pass %1 to the
batch file running your onliners, and Alias will take this as it's parameter.
If you are running a chain on instance 2, the chain file is CHAIN.002, not
CHAIN.TXT. Instead of hard coding Alias to accept only CHAIN.TXT as a
parameter, it will take any CHAIN.xxx file as a parameter.
