[comp.sys.amiga] File Links..?

Hi there!  'Tis me again, hoping more than ever that you don't get tired
of my inane ravings and insert my name into your kill files...

To get to the point, I'm looking to organize my jumbled-up hard drive in
an intelligent way and emulating the standard UNIX methods.  In essence, I
would like to be able to group all of my binaries (yes! All!) under the c:
directory and still have the workbench organized the way it is, separated
into games, communications, tools, etc.  

Is it possible to have a .info file point to its' file in another directory?
Should I abandon this idea and delve deeper in the chaotic mess that my
hard drive has become?  Why is 27 the ultimate answer?  What is the purpose
of those hairless cats that you see people holding in magazines like Vanity?

Perhaps I should get back on track...  Oh, fine!  More questions.

How can I tell if my A500 has the 1.3 kickstart ROMs?  I bought it used, and
can't seem to get in touch with the previous owner anymore.  Some nice man
in a suit asked me to contact him if the guy who sold me the machine was
found somewhere, though...  No, not really.  I'm kidding.

Well, I seem to be ranting.  Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.

I haven't seen anything of the sort yet, but to the best of my 
knowledge this is a feature of AmigaDOS 2.0.
