Hi;
All the cygwin user's gude had to say about symlinks is that they do not
have all the property info that windoze shortcuts have, ......which
doesn't bother me.
I want to use symlinks ( ln -s ) as I do in gnu/linux.
I made some today on my win2k box at work.
They worked fine in the cd command, but I could not get automcomplete to
expand lists on the symlinks. cygstart did not seem to work with them.
Using "ls" with a symlink only lists the symlink, the dir it points to.
Is this normal, do symlinks have less features on cygwin such that they
are not "as good as the dir/file" being there......or am I missing
something?
Thanks in advance
Steve
