Initially, when Borland moved table handling out of dBASE into the BDE, a BDE Alias had to be created by using the BDEAdmin program.  Somewhere along the way one of the improvements made to dBASE was the ability to create User BDE Aliases from within dBASE itself.  Details of these aliases are kept in plus.ini.
