AmigaDos Links
James,
Yes, I understand, but in reality, but again, a hard link is not really a
link. If the link or the original file is deleted, the file remains. Try making
a link to a file, then delete the original. The one that's left, that used to
show up as a link, is now a file like any other file. In other words, the
assignment of the status of <hl> when doing a DIR, is arbitrary. Any of the
filenames (directory entries) that refer to the same data, are potentially the
real file (if you define real file as the file that does not have a <hl> after
it when you do a DIR).
