MBSE creates        symlinks to ensure that every file has both an 8.3 DOS compatible filename and        the "real" full filename.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 15/2 16/0 103/705 120/544 123/130 131 1970 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 226/17 229/107 275 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 292/854 317/3 320/119 219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1384 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 320/219 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
