$	Does anyone out there know how to create a symbolic link in
$dos?? Basicly what I want to do is have a directory name that is just an
$alias of the real directory on another drive...Is this possible? I know it
$is in unix with the ln command, but I desperately need it in dos.

   No can do.  The structure of DOS filesystems is very different from
that of Unix filesystems, and is not designed to permit linking.
