Indeed. I often symlink entire application directories because I switch containers as often as I upgrade tag libraries. :-) > symlinks are your friend (I am sure Windows users can make a > shortcut). No, that won't work on Windows, but it's a little-known fact that Window's NFTS filesystem indeed supports *hard* links, just like Unix does. You typically need a tool from Microsoft's "Resource Kit" to set them up, though; there isn't an interface that's more readily available. -- Shawn Bayern "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
