The Aliases file

-#!/usr/bin/perl
+You will find a file in /spider/cmd/ called Aliases. This is the file that
+controls what a user gets when issuing a command. It is also possible to
+create your own aliases for databases and files you create locally.
-# provide some standard aliases for commands for terminally
-# helpless ak1a user (helpless in the sense that they never
-# read nor understand help files)
-
-# This file is automagically reloaded if its modification time is
-# later than the one stored in CmdAlias.pm
-
-# PLEASE make this file consistant with reality! (the patterns MUST
-# match the filenames!)
-
-# Don't alter this file, copy it into the local_cmd tree and modify it.
-# This file will be replaced everytime I issue a new release.
+
+You should not alter the original file in /spider/cmd/ but create a new file
+with the same name in /spider/local_cmd. This means that any new Aliases files
+that is downloaded will not overwrite your self created Aliases and also that
+you do not override any new Aliases with your copy in /spider/local_cmd/. You
+must remember that any files you store in /spider/local/ or /spider/local_cmd
+override the originals if the same lines are used in both files.
-# You only need to put aliases in here for commands that don't work as
-# you desire naturally, e.g sh/dx on its own just works as you expect
-# so you need not add it as an alias.
+
+The best way of dealing with all this then is to only put your own locally
+created Aliases in the copy in /spider/local_cmd. The example below is
+currently in use at GB7MBC.

-You can create aliases for commands at will. Beware though, these may not
-always turn out as you think. Care is needed and you need to test the
-results once you have set an alias.
+
+Each alphabetical section should be preceded by the initial letter and the section
+should be wrapped in square brackets as you can see. The syntax is straightforward.
+The first section on each line is the new command that will be allowed once the
+alias is included. The second section is the command it is replacing and the last
+section is the actual command that is being used.
+
+
+The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that in the first section, the new
+alias command has a '^' at the start and a '$' at the end. Basically these force
+a perfect match on the alias. The '^' says match the beginning exactly and the
+'$' says match the end exactly. This prevents unwanted and unintentional matches
+with similar commands.
+
+
+I have 3 different types of alias in this file. At the top is an alias for 'news'.
+This is a file I have created in the /spider/packclus/ directory where I can inform
+users of new developments or points of interest. In it's initial form a user would
+have to use the command type news. The alias allows them to simply type
+news to get the info. Second is an alias for the show/qrz
+command so that those users used to the original show/buck command in
+AK1A will not get an error, and the rest of the lines are for locally created
+databases so that a user can type show/hftest instead of having to use
+the command dbshow hftest which is not as intuitive.
+
+
+This file is just an example and you should edit it to your own requirements.
+Once created, simply issue the command load/alias at the cluster
+prompt as the sysop user and the aliases should be available.
