Как создать постоянный Alias?

There has been a number of occasions where I needed to create persistent BDE aliases. The point is that the DB API isn't very discussed and is unkown to most Delphi developers. Despite that fact, the Dbi calls are very powerful and useful functions.
The function below, CreateAlias, encapsulates the DbiAddAlias call, with some error checking and BDE initialization and finalization procedures.

uses Windows, SysUtils, DbiProcs, DbiErrs, DBTables;

const

 CRLF = #13 + #10;

 ERR_ALIASDRIVERNOTFOUND = 'Specified driver does not exist.';

 ERR_ALIASALREADYEXISTS = 'The Alias (%s) already exists.' + CRLF +

  'Would you like to reconfigure it?';

 ERR_ALIASINVALIDPARAM = 'Invalid Alias name.';

 ERR_ALIASCLOSEBDE = 'Error closing the BDE.' + CRLF +

  'Please close all applications and restart Windows';

 ERR_ALIASOPENBDE = 'Error initializing BDE. Cannot create Alias.';

procedure CreateAlias(sAlias, sPath, sDriver: string;

 PersistentAlias: Boolean);

var

 dbEnv: DbiEnv;

 dbRes: DbiResult;

 Resp: word;

begin

 { Sets the BDE environment }

 with dbEnv do

 begin

  StrPCopy(szWorkDir, sPath);

  StrPCopy(szIniFile, '');

  bForceLocalInit := True;

  StrPCopy(szLang, '');

  StrPCopy(szClientName, 'dbClientName');

 end;

 { Initalizes BDE with the environment dbEnv }

 if DbiInit(@dbEnv) <> DbiERR_NONE then

  raise Exception.Create(ERR_ALIASOPENBDE);

 { Adds the specified Alias }

 if sDriver = 'STANDARD' then

  dbRes := DbiAddAlias(nil, pchar(sAlias), nil,

  pchar('PATH:' + sPath), PersistentAlias)

 else

  dbRes := DbiAddAlias(nil, pchar(sAlias), pchar(sDriver),

  pchar('PATH:' + sPath), PersistentAlias);

 case dbRes of

  DbiERR_INVALIDPARAM:

  raise Exception.Create(ERR_ALIASINVALIDPARAM);

  DbiERR_NAMENOTUNIQUE:

  begin

  resp := MessageBox(0, pchar(Format(ERR_ALIASALREADYEXISTS, [sAlias])),

  'CreateAlias', MB_ICONSTOP + MB_YESNO);

  if Resp = ID_YES then

  begin

  Check(DbiDeleteAlias(nil, pchar(sAlias)));

  CreateAlias(sAlias, sPath, sDriver, PersistentAlias);

  end;

  end;

  DbiERR_UNKNOWNDRIVER:

  raise Exception.Create(ERR_ALIASDRIVERNOTFOUND);

 end;

 if DbiExit <> DbiERR_NONE then

  raise Exception.Create(ERR_ALIASCLOSEBDE);

end; {CreateAlias}

The parameters for this function are:
sAlias: Name of the new alias to be created
sPath: Full path of the directory to which the alias should point. With little adjustments, this function can be used to create any kind of aliases, and, instead of passing the path info in this argument, pass all the parameters needed by the driver to create the alias.
sDriver: Name of an existing BDE driver, such as PARADOX, DBASE, STANDARD
PersistentAlias: Determines whether the new alias will be for future use (persistent) or just for the actual session.
Example of usage:
CreateAlias('DBTEST', 'c:\progra~1\borland\delphi~1\projects\cd3\data', 'PARADOX',
true);
