Is there a way to specify links for proto file systems in mkfs? Are is the best way to do it by hand (or in shell script) after the file system is made and mounted? marty ARPA: leisner.henr@xerox.com GV: leisner.henr NS: martin leisner:henr801c:xerox

I don't believe the V7 mkfs can either. For programs like dosread, doswrite, and dosdir, that are in fact links, the best thing is to mount the new file system and have a shell script do the links.
