Warning!!! Ignorant question ahead...

Would someone explain the difference (or similarity) between Unix links and
VAX/VMS logicals? In VMS I can define a logical to point to a file on a system
across decnet or on another disk and all I have to do is refer to it by the
logical name. Are links the same/similar/completely different? 

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this but it's the only usenet
conference I get.


			Thanks...Tony
