Sorry, haven't read that, my bad - I did spend a good half hour googling symlinks on VMS before asking here though...
Anyway,
The source is DKA0:[SYS0.DECNET] which I would like to appear as DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.APACHE.HTDOCS.DECNET]

The problem is that I don't know what SYS$SPECIFIC nor what APACHE$ROOT are!
There's a little DCL command called '$ SHOW LOGICAL' which would help here.
And, FWIW, all of this has been well explained in the "OpenVMS File System
Internals" book.

What w/should be the full file specification for the alias?

OK,
But I can't get that to work for directories..?
Perhaps, if you'd post your command(s) and any error(s) you receive, you might
get your cause furthered.

I think that only works for files, not directories.
I KNOW i've made a link between directories on VMS, I just can't remember the command and there's nothing in HELP..
Or Google.

On ODS-2 you'd make this work with set file/enter.

I've been looking everywhere for some help on how to create a link (symbolic or hardlink, I'm good with either) to a directory in another.
Basically, I have a bunch of files I want to share using both FAL and HTTP (Apache).
So let's say I have the source dir, DKA0:[FOOBAR]SOURCE.DIR and I want to make a link of that directory to APACHE$ROOT:[HTDOCS] so that APACHE$ROOT:[HTDOCS.SOURCE] and DKA0:[FOOBAR.SOURCE] are the same thing?

PS: I'm obviously on an ODS-5 system.
