The version of MSYS/MinGW I installed on a machine at work a few years ago provided an ln program. But ln -s actually did the same as cp -p. This is not what Unix users expect and thus a bit confusing. On the other hand it's not easy to provide symlinks on Windows and this workaround might be sufficient in most cases. Sure, one should be aware of it. If they removed the ln program from their distribution (should be documented somewhere), you can write your own one: #! /bin/sh cp -p "$@" Regards, Reinhard -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Kotucha Phone: +49-511-3373112 Marschnerstr. 25 D-30167 Hannover mailto:reinhard.kotu...@web.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft isn't the answer.
