Wel from what I read their "symbolic links" only support directories. That's a half-ass done job IMHO. It should be possible to link anything. Directories, files, sockets, pipes, devices, what have ya. I guess that's the advantage of nixes... everything is pretty much a file and symbolic links for files are well implemented and supported :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
