<i>How do I create symbolic links?</i><p>

<i>I have this program that behaves differently depending on the name
it's called.  Under Unix, I just create symbolic links to achieve
that, but DOS doesn't support them.  Do I have to put several
identical programs under different names on my disk??</i><p>

First, use <tt>stubedit</tt> to create a program-less stub, which is
basically a copy of <tt>stub.exe</tt> except that you don't need to
know where it came from:

<pre>
  coff2exe -g mylink
</pre>

This makes <tt>mylink.exe</tt>.  Next, tell mylink.exe which actual program
to run:

<pre>
  stubedit mylink.exe runfile=realprog
</pre>

Now, when you run mylink.exe, it calls <tt>go32</tt> and tells it to
run <tt>realprog</tt> (or <tt>realprog.exe</tt>) instead, but to tell
it that it was called <tt>mylink</tt>.
