I hope you'll include an AmigaDOS program to do this automatically so the particular implementation is transparent. That is, the user wouldn't have to edit a file, insert the string, exit the editor, and set the softlink bit. Instead, typing: slink fromFile toFile would create "toFile" containing the string "fromFile" and with its bit set. But of course you've already thought of this.... :-) -- # Dan Barrett barrett@cs.jhu.edu (128.220.13.4) ARPANET # # ins_adjb@jhuvms.bitnet BITNET # # ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP UUCP (unreliable) # # Dept. of Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218 #
