        !            13: .I L.aliases
        !            14: file defines mapping (aliasing) of system names for uucp.
        !            15: This is intended for compensating for systems that have
        !            16: changed names, or do not provide their entire machine name
        !            17: (like most USG systems). It is also useful when a machine's name
        !            18: is not obvious or commonly misspelled.
        !            19: .PP
        !            20: Each line in
        !            21: .I L.aliases

        !            41: or provided by a remote site. An exception is the
