-Now let us look at the optional sections described in the directory entries 3 and above
-Where these files are found depends on the {\tt -g} and {\tt -a} options.
-
-With the {\tt -g} option given, only the file names as given in the directory entries are used.
-With the {\tt -a} option given, the file names are translated to filenames in the {|hin_name|\tt .abs} and {|hin_name|\tt .rel} directories, as described in section~\secref{absrel}.
-If neither the {\tt -a} nor the {\tt -g} option is given, {\tt shrink} first trys the translated
-filename and then the global filename before it gives up.

-When the \.{shrink} program writes the directory section in the short format,
-it needs to know the sizes of all the sections---including the optional sections.
-These sizes are not provided in the long format because it is safer and more
-convenient to let the machine figure out the file sizes\index{file size}.
-But before we can determine the size, we need to determine the file.
