What is "special"? ls normally follows symlinks silently, but ls -F and ls -l shows some information about symlinks. Are these particular flags special enough? I think it will be easier to understand the system if symlinks and translators are treated in the same way by programs walking the file system, in the absence of any hurd-specific flags. By the way, what's a good "ls -F"-indicator character for translators? `&' (process), `!' (action), or `?' (oddity)? Perhaps active and passive translators should be displayed differently. /Niels _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
