LINK and SYMLINK are for alternate names.

Consider this from an SMPMCS:

++HFS(dddddddd)    DISTLIB(lllllll)

                   SYSLIB(sssssss)

                   BINARY

                   LINK('lib/libdddddddd.a')

                   PARM(PATHMODE(0,6,4,4))

                   RELFILE(5) .



That creates, in the directory specified on the DDDEF for sssssss, file 
dddddddd; and in the lib\ directory under that, libdddddddd.a.



These files are identical. I don't need the dddddddd for linking etc.; do I 
need it for later service or something? If it's not required, why did SMP/E 
leave it there?



Reading the doc found very little about this. It's not a huge deal, just kinda 
ugly, UNLESS it's required for some reason.  Yes, I could us SHSCRIPT to run a 
script to delete it, but that seems unlikely to be necessary just to remove 
cruft.
