To support,
    I have some directory on the PCNT which is NFS mounted to the UNIX =
world. I have a soft link to a directory. I'm using the "find" command =
provided by cygnus and it actually follows the soft link as well. I =
thought that when using the -follow option; then it will search within =
the soft link. I believe that this is a bug or is there anyway to turn =
off the -follow command? It seems that the "find" has the -follow option =
turn on. Thanks.

Dave
