Links of the style
$ ls -al /bin/awk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 fergus hdd 8 Feb 28 07:27 /bin/awk -> gawk.exe*
are located on the drive as readonly +R .lnk files or +S system files.
Suppose through a keyboard slip outside Cygwin all the file attribites 
on a Cygwin filesystem are lost. Then +R attributes can be recovered 
through the DOS command
attrib +R *.lnk /s
but can anybody tell me whether (and if so, how) it is possible to 
recover links created as +S files?
Thank you.
Fergus
