[comp.os.minix] symbolic links for 1.5.0

stailey@iris613.gsfc.nasa.gov (Ken Stailey) (02/05/90)

I am currently adding BSD-style symbolic links to MINIX 1.5.0 ST.
Today I linked /foo to /bar successfully, so it won't be much longer
before the beta release is ready.

Does anyone want to test them?

What, if anything, does POSIX say about them?

The IEEE P1003.1 printed standard does not include them.  The guys hacking
on the standard for 1003.1b may add them.
