I've been looking everywhere for some help on how to create a link (symboli= c 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 m= ake a link of that directory to APACHE$ROOT:[HTDOCS] so that APACHE$ROOT:[H= TDOCS.SOURCE] and DKA0:[FOOBAR.SOURCE] are the same thing? Sampsa PS: I'm obviously on an ODS-5 system. If APACHE$ROOT is a rooted logical with DKA0: as its disk device designation, you can use a long standing VMS file system feature: SET FILE/ENTER. There's also the symlink feature which you use via SET FILE/SYMLINK. $ HELP abounds for both commands. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
