Does anyone know if SCO ODT supports symbolic links in V1.1? I know they didn't in V1.0 (probably the worst omission in ODT and the only <UNIX> NFS distribution I've seen without them.) -- Bruce Reed Objectivity Inc. bruce@objy.com | Duck em' if they can't Menlo Park, CA sun!objy!bruce | take a joke!

On ODT 1.0, you cannot create sym-links, but if the filesystem you've NFS mounted has sym-links, then ODT will follow them (but it won't report them in an `ls -l' listing). This means that the kernel ``supports'' sym-links, but the user utilities don't (ie `ln -s' doesn't work). vic -- Victor Gavin <vic@grep.co.uk||vic@grep.uucp||..!ukc!grep!vic||+44 532 500303> Grep Limited, Kirkfields Business Centre, Kirk Lane, Leeds, UK, LS19 7LX
