/_> From what I've interpreted from a combination of the info/man pages on ln, it /_> seems that without the -s it is just another command for copy. /_> /_> Is this correct? /_ /_With a hard link, you have pointers to the same data saved at some /_particular location on the disk. So it's technically not a copy. /_~M /_ I must admit, I too, never fully understood the differance between soft & hard links. -Mike
