The first match

http://mediasrv.ns.ac.yu/extra/fileformat/windows/lnk/shortcut.pdf

is what you're looking for and what I used when implementing the
shortcut stuff.
Thanks, this gets me more than halfway to what I need to know -- the
missing piece is how these fields need to be filled out to appear as a
symbolic link to cygwin. Worst case I can just hunt through the cygwin
source, but if you happen to know or have notes lying around somewhere,
it might be useful to more than just us to post them somewhere. Thanks
again.

Your best source of information is probably symlink_worker() in <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/winsup/cygwin/path.cc?content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=src&only_with_tag=HEAD>. HTH, Igor

Ah, yes, the RTFSC I saw coming a mile away. ;-)


...but it's a very helpful pointer to a specific place (and being a link makes it easy to read; no mucking with downloading files or whatnot). I hope Adam will appreciate your thoughtfulness. :-)
