Phil,
You say these files are identical. I believe that is not the case, I believe
they are, in fact, the same. If you go into the 'lib' directory and do a 'ls
-l', you will get the permission bits on the left. If the first character is a
'-', it's a normal file, but if it's a 'l', it's actually a link or a pointer
to the other location. I wouldn't remove it.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] SMP/E and USS
Consider this from an SMPMCS:
++HFS(dddddddd) DISTLIB(lllllll)
SYSLIB(sssssss)
BINARY
LINK('lib/libdddddddd.a')
PARM(PATHMODE(0,6,4,4))
RELFILE(5) .
That creates, in the directory specified on the DDDEF for sssssss, file
dddddddd; and in the lib\ directory under that, libdddddddd.a.
These files are identical. I don't need the dddddddd for linking etc.; do I
need it for later service or something? If it's not required, why did SMP/E
leave it there?
Reading the doc found very little about this. It's not a huge deal, just kinda
ugly, UNLESS it's required for some reason. Yes, I could us SHSCRIPT to run a
script to delete it, but that seems unlikely to be necessary just to remove
cruft.
