What do you mean? It's the OS which treats symlinks on Unix, and Windows doesn't. For example you can't put a "link" to a directory in the middle of a path. And you *can* edit its contents (which is meaningless for a Unix symlink). It makes no sense to pretend that they are the same when they are not. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
