Hi, I need some help with Pathalias, i've got it working but i've come across
a problem, i had to edit some of the maps to get a decent paths file. is
there a simple way of doing this? without editing the maps everytime they
come in? i suppose what i need is a file that overrides the maps. i know
about the command line commands for it, and i use those, but they do not
allow me to make a path cheaper, just more expensive. so what i need is a
local file.
thanks.
Mark

in the next version of pathalias, you will be able to adjust the cost
through hosts or links (e.g., "adjust {foo!bar(LOW), baz(-1)}") or
delete them altogether (e.g., "delete {foo!bar, baz}").
i find it real handy to read the usenet maps, then "delete {citi}"
(my local host), then read my local maps.
these were chongo's ideas, by the way.
the next version won't ship until i figure out how to satisfy rick and
greg (something to do with domains behind terminal edges, or is it the
other way around?), but delete and adjust are done. you can ftp what
i've got from citi.umich.edu!/pub/honey/pathalias.Z, or i can mail you
a copy.
