- * Important information about XFH-Handler 1.39 and links *
- *******************************************************************************
-
- Since version 1.36 XFH supports hard- and softlinks.
-
- XFH does this by passing the required packets to the underlying file system, it
- does NOT create or handle links itself.
-
- In most cases this underlying file system will be Commodore's file system.
- Versions before V40 of this file systems have SERIOUS BUGS in handling of
- hardlinks which might cause CORRUPTION of your volumes.
-
- If you create a hardlink to a file on such a file system and remove this file
- while the hardlink still exists you will have a corrupted directory. So BE
- CAREFUL with hardlinks. So: Don't try this at home, kids. ;-)
-
- The implementation of softlinks is not as it should be but you don't risks your
- data by using softlinks. The only problem is all released versions of
- Commodore's "MakeLink" command do NOT support creating softlinks. If you want
- to create softlinks use one of public domain replacements or any other program
- that is able to create softlinks.
