I agree that this approach is fairly straight forward and I have not
tried it. However our current approach (concatenating files to create
a new alias file) is about the same in complexity. The difficulty
arises from determining the contents of those files.

For now we are going keep the current three sets of files (weekday 08-16,
weekend day 08-16 and evening 16-08) and I will start the "selling" job
on a Ticketing system (the long term solution).

Thanks for your comments.

Regards, Hugh
