	Not only is the speed difference insignificant, but adding ANY kind of
links would require changes to the operating sys. Links also have the problem
of making the disk directory structure more confusing, and you can accidently
squash files you didn't intend to. Say you have a link like "ln rm delete".
Then you get a great rm port from unix and copy it to c: Now you just
squashed your old version of delete. At least with aliases both files would
exist, and you would just have to take out the alias from your startup-file...
