Hello everybody. Have you ever wanted your symlinks to be followed for *all* Windows programs, not only for those compiled against cygwin? You know, I was lacking such capability and I implemented it (in the form of VxD driver). I decided to use existing cygwin's symlink file format (used in older versions of cygwin, newer versions use Windows .lnk, but that doesn't matter since that doesn't prevent you from creating old-style symlinks). Can't say that the implementation is very clear, but it works, symlinks are really followed for *all* programs! The main and quite obvious limitation is that the driver I wrote works only in Windows'9x (and ME possibly)... If you need it, you're welcome to download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/symlink9x Although everything is in pre-alpha state, it has been working for me nicely for a week or two already. Just an announcement, hope I haven't violated any policies ;) -- Konstantin Isakov -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
