I came across a program called ALIAS which looks nice on my friend's
computer, but i can't seem to get it running on my own, which is running
on Dos 5.00.somethingorother.

Does anyone know where I can FTP a version of this program, or something
else which does the same basic thing, which works in Dos 5?

thanks in advance!!

The DOSKEY program that comes with DOS 5.00.somethingorother does virtually
the same thing that ALIAS does (I'm assuming that the ALIAS program is the
one that was published in PC Magazine some time ago).
