I don't mean to discourage anyone from trying, but I get the feeling that even if a community as large as the entire Darwin/Mac OS X community including Apple Inc. would violently support us, we would still be considered the minority.

Interesting, what is the correct term? I've seen the term junction: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q205524 and multiple other places: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&biw=819&q=junction+windows+NTFS&btnG=Search Cheers, David _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
