Sometime in November John Harrold assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Is there a way to make /etc/aliases include a file? So that I can put all
| of the aliases for mailmain in one file and have /etc/aliases slurp it up?
| Or is there another way this is done?

Ok nevermind. I found the man page:

 Include File
        :include: /path/name

        The aliases in pathname are added to the aliases for name.

I think I tried 'man alias' before. I feel silly now.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
