[HECnet] Hard and soft links in VMS 8,3 AXP?

[Hans Vlems]

why wouldn't     it work for directories? For this action it makes no difference.

I think that only works for files, not directories.

I KNOW i've made a link between directories on VMS, I just can't remember the command and there's nothing in HELP..

Or Google.

I've been looking everywhere for some help on how to create a link (symbolic or hardlink, I'm good with either) to a directory in another.

Basically, I have a bunch of files I want to share using both FAL and HTTP (Apache).

So let's say I have the source dir, DKA0:[FOOBAR]SOURCE.DIR and I want to make a link of that directory to APACHE$ROOT:[HTDOCS] so that APACHE$ROOT:[HTDOCS.SOURCE] and DKA0:[FOOBAR.SOURCE] are the same thing?
