First off sorry about my previous response, it was written quickly and reading it back it does sound very negative which was not my real intention.
What I wanted to get across is what you already admitted; that there is no way to link files on windows so given this, linking really isn't a workable solution. Even if it was available, linking several thousand files is not something we'd approach as a solution lightly. I do appreciate the suggestion, but your right in you assumption that we're really looking to Valve for a fix for this long standing issue. Servers are getting better and better with there support for GSP's and so I don't really think its an unreasonable request for something that wouldn't take too much time to implement and would provide such a clear benefit. Regards Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roman Hatsiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This solution is perfectly workable and seems to be much better than the one you currently use, otherwise that would be me asking Valve to fix something not working on my servers :) I thought that you are interested in solution for your particular problem, not in demanding Valve to fix something or implement some additional functionality. Sorry, seems like I got you wrong.
