Here is Oliver Fromme's LINK/LN package:

Included to repo. Thanks!
LINK/LN worked for me for years with no problems on MS-DOS 6.22.
Could work, although it will be EN-only... Would be better to have
multi-language support for all CORE packages (although that's not the
case even now, yet).
History note:
In FDNPKG I was creating "links" automatically based on metada in the
packages. It was working by having a directory called "LINKS" in the
PATH, where FDNPKG was generating tiny COM files that were starting the
target application. The COM stub is there:
https://sourceforge.net/p/fdnpkg/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/comlink.asm
...but ultimately I don't like this approach very much, I think the
users should have the control over this, albeit it should be as simple
as possible to use. For example I though of something like this:
C:\PROGS\ZIP\>LINKADD ZIP.EXE
system-wide 'ZIP' alias created and points to C:\PROGS\ZIP\ZIP.EXE
C:\>LINKDEL ZIP
system-wide 'ZIP' alias removed
This is something that would be relatively easy to add to SvarCOM, with
an almost zero overhead. I don't know if a third-party tool could be as
user-friendly...
