Hi,

When you look at the list of VFS file/directory attributes, one of them is
vfsFileAttrLink, which is described as "Link to another file or directory".

When I have a file in /PALM/Programs/ on my handheld, the vfsFileAttrLink
attribute's bit is *not* set. But, when I have a card set up in POSE, the
same file's vfsFileAttrLink bit *is* set.

Also, if I do a VFSFileSetAttributes, it works fine on the actual handheld.
But, if I do a VFSFileSetAttributes in POSE, where the vfsFileAttrLink bit
is set, I get a sysErrParamErr error.

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here? The following things
confuse me:

1. What exactly does the vfsFileAttrLink attribute mean (I can't find a
better explanation in the documentation)?
2. Why is the link bit set when running in POSE but not on the handheld?
3. Why can I modify the file's attributes on the handheld but not in POSE?

Thanks!

Tom
