[Peter Honeyman]

i get my pathalias input from this script:

for i in $*; do
	case $i in
	*.Z)	echo "file {`expr $i : '\(.*\).Z'`}
		zcat $i ;;
	*)	echo "file {$i}"
		cat $i ;;
	esac
	echo "private {}"
done | pathalias ...

the "file {}" syntax is new; if you aren't ftp-ing pathalias regularly,
you'll get a syntax error.
