Hi Michael
		I haven't used Debian for a couple years,  but the " alias block-major-15 
off" etc would be placed in - /etc/modutiles/aliases. And then a script 
called, I think, "update-modules" or similar would be run which takes the 
"aliases2 file plus others in the /etc/modutiles directory and place them 
in /etc/modules.conf (or something like that). There would be a reference to 
the script name to run in the /etc/modules.conf file-- saying words to teh 
effect of "DONT update this by hand--use so&so script"

	Alias-block-major-18 is for the sjcd and sbpcd is alias-block-major-25(-28).
