Anybody know if there is Linux tool to create a DOS shortcut file, so
that for instance I can create a shortcut on a USB mounted vfat.
You're talking about a Windows '.lnk' file - the thing that shows up
on a Windows desktop as a shortcut to a program (with the little arrow
in the corner) right?
If so, this newsgroup thread is the most detailed thing I could dig up:
http://decenturl.com/groups.google/how-to-create-windows-shortcut
The summary of that is "nothing available, but here's some C code that
exposes the internals of the file format."
And here's the code: http://www.wotsit.org/list.asp?al=L
(find LNK in the table and download the .zip file)
So... if you're feeling like exercising your programming skills, this
might make an interesting project!
