Psst... does anyone else out there always need to run 

ln -s x y 
ls

...to see whether x or y is in the directory in order to determine what
order the symlink paramaters go in? I can never remember. Sometimes I
forget again within the hour and feel like a real moron. ;)

Some people I've talked to don't know what a symlink IS. In fact, my ISP's
*SysAdmin* didn't know the last time I called their tech support! And you
think PLAYERS will know? Please!
