Hi All,

Sorry if this is covered in FAQs, etc.

Can djtar create symbolic links when extracting files onto a Win95 FAT32
(LBA) filesystem?

To be more specific

djtar -xv snprintf_2.2.tar.gz ->

...
rwx Sep 25 17:59:18 2000         0 snprintf_2.2/with_autoconf/snprintf.c ->
../snprintf.c
lrwx Sep 25 17:59:18 2000         0 snprintf_2.2/with_autoconf/snprintf.h ->
../snprintf.h
...

dir with_autoconf ->

...
 SNPRINTF H               0  25/09/00  17:59 snprintf.h
SNPRIN~1 LNK           390  12/12/04  15:57 snprintf.c.lnk
...

I used windows me to produce the *.lnk file.

Will this work?

Thanks

Cheers Stephen Grant Bown
