I've studied up and asked questions and I think I have a pretty good idea of what a hard link and a soft link is. But what am I gonna *do* with a soft link once they become available? Anybody out there want to suggest a half-dozen or so uses for a soft link? And maybe a few for a hard link? I can think of some trivial uses but what do you really need 'em for? Dana (thankx)
