Subject:recognizing symbolic links? 
From:Aaron Sloman See text for reply address 
Volume-ID:970907.01 

Does anyone know how a Pop-11 program can tell whether a file name
is actually the name a symbolic link?

In particular, I would like to alter the buildindex procedure used
by LIB MKIND so that it doesn't make an entry for a symbolic link
which duplicates an actual file.

Suggestions welcome.
Aaron
