[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Bug in help database

nsb@THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM (Nathaniel Borenstein) (01/03/90)

At the end of the "ez" help file there are a bunch of key words, most of
which don't work -- for example, "ez-keys" doesn't work, but "ezkeys"
does.  Similarly, "ez-commands" doesn't work but "ezcomm" does.  Seems
like some help aliases are missing.  -- NB

I believe the aliases exist in both the last beta-release as well as the
soon (if not already) to be [actual] release - the main problem is
probably that when you last built the distribution, you forgot to do a
'make Aliases' from the top of the source tree.

(PS: the final release handles this differently, it performs this
operation as if it were the last subdirectory)
