TYPE- NEW DEVELOP
DESCRIPTION-
Object shadows are an extremely weak substitute for the
equivalent of Unix file links. The problem is that shadows do
not show up as directory entries. I could make installations a
lot cleaner if I could puts links to the .exe's in packages in
a single \install\exe directory. Base OS all products affected.
Benefits accrue to users and developers alike. Sorry to specify
solution, but this one is needed - really!
