From: Aaron Montgomery <monster0@GTE.NET> Subject: "saveas -f filename" I'm poking around in the C source code for the I/O routines in Alpha and it appears that if you invoke the alpha command "saveas" with the -f option the file is not actually written out to the disk (just the file spec is changed). Is this really what happens? (if I were better at Tcl/had more time, I would write a small script to test it myself, looks like its two uses I found in the Tcl folder assume this behavior) If this is the way saveas -f works, it might be worth noting that in the documentation since my read of the Alpha Commands document is that "saveas -f filename" would cause the contents of the file to be saved, whereas it looks like you need to do "saveas -f filename" followed by a "save".
