Well, then, I suppose we'll have to suggest that Smail 3.1 users keep
a copy of the Smail 2.5 distribution.  :-)

You can create an entirely new director.  Make a copy of the "aliases"
entry in the directors file, changing the name of the director and the
name of the alias file.

I use this approach for system-wide aliases owned by me.  The second
directors entry is just like "aliases", but the name of the director
is "aliases_chip" and its definition includes "file = aliases.chip".
It also specifies "owner = chip" and "set_user = chip".

However, there is a simpler way.  According to the friendly
documentation, an alias file can have :include: directives.  For
example, if you want to put your fullnames alias information in the
file "fullnames", add this line to your aliases file:

	:include:fullnames

Piece of pie.
