I've just installed uuhosts here (finally!) and would like to use the
feature that keeps the maps compressed. Only problem is I can't figure
out a sensible way to make this work with pathalias. Is there anything
can be done short of uncompressing the maps, running pathalias, then
compressing the maps again?

Just zcat the files and pipe to pathalias, here is my shell script: ------------ newpathalias ------------ #!/bin/csh cd /system/maps/comp.mail.maps zcat path.local d.* u.* | pathalias -d seismo $* >/tmp/pathalias cd /usr/local/lib if -f pathalias then mv pathalias pathalias.old endif sort /tmp/pathalias >pathalias chmod a+r pathalias rm /tmp/pathalias -- Godfrey Lee P.O.

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.

the most recent version of pathalias can be obtained via anonymous ftp from citi.umich.edu, in pub/honey/pathalias.Z. peter

Do any of the public access and/or anon uucp transfer sites out there have the L&G pathalias available? It will be available from osu-cis if I can ever reach citi.umich.edu to ftp it here. I can reach *.cc.umich.edu as well as venice.citi.umich.edu, but citi itself appears to be down. Maybe this afternoon or tomorrow... --Karl

Do any of the public access and/or anon uucp transfer sites out there have the L&G pathalias available? I couldn't see citi.umich.edu for a couple of days from here, but abruptly it seems I can. The usual anonymous UUCP instructions for osu-cis apply; request the file /u/public/pathalias/honey/pathalias.Z. --Karl
