kind of a long story ...

I have lots of files buried in the file structure of the OS (Mac OS X).

They consist of audio tracks, images and movies.

All of these (and the file structure) are maintained by Apple-supplied
iLife programs (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc.)

The file names/directory names can contain any valid characters except
colon;

This naming flexibility gives CFFile fits -- especially names that
contain an ampersand (&)

I don't want to interfere with directory structure, I just want to
provide an alternate,  CF-acceptable path to the files.

PHP provides a native capability (non-windows) to create links and
symlinks -- I am surprised that Java doesn't have the equivalent.

BTW, doesn't windows provide a "Alias" or pseudo-file capability --
like those little things on the desktop that represent an application
contained elsewhere in the file system.

TIA

Dick
