Hi,
ÃÂ
Here's a problem I encountered with symbolic
links:
ÃÂ
1. Assume you have a DOS executable in directory c:\xxx called
yyy.exe.
2. Assume bash is run from directory
c:\zzz. ÃÂ
3. Enter bash ÃÂ
4. Do "ln -s c:\xxx\yyy.exe
yyy.exe". ÃÂ
5. Verify that there's a file "yyy.exe" in
c:\zzz. ÃÂ
6. Run yyy.exe from bash - everything works
fine. ÃÂ
7. Now exit bash. ÃÂ
8. Run yyy.exe. You get a window telling you that the program
has performed an illegal operation. ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ Opening the details button says that the program tried to execute an illegal instruction
ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ at
1F00:8AC3. ÃÂ
ÃÂ
Cheers,
Dave ÃÂ
