file  foo.bar .

Will it affect the symlinks pointing to files in the removed directory ?
Will it affect any "dependancy" on such removed files/directories ? Or
will it give any warnnig ? Pl. clarify !

In DOS  , in the above case , concatanate 3 "binary" files. Without  /b ,
DOS assumes source files are text-files.
Then how to split files in linux, if a large  file cannot be accomodated
in a single floppy for transportation.

Confusing ! How to create the image file in the first place . (in linux )
Suppose I want to give a executable file created in linux to a friend. He
has only DOS. And he wnats to duplicate the floppy. Since file systems are
different, DOS wo'nt read linux floppy. The only option, I guess is
creating image file of the distributable floppy, which can be copied to
DOS HDD, from where one can use RAWRITE util to copy it to another
floppies !.
Am I write, sir ! Or my concepts about linux working need more study ?

Does changing any interrupt in above files, will also change the actual
inturrupts, like Device Manager in Win ?
The change will be in effect immidiately or have issue some "refresh"
command.

What is HUP ? How to know which other dependent services may get affected
by changing a single service ?
