Hmm, I did not make any links, so assume that setup.exe
did this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administ 15 May 22 17:53 /usr/bin/egrep -> grep
..and that there must be a good reason why hard links are
not the default for such things. Will give this a try when I
get a chance to read up on what "links" mean under WIN2000...
Thanks,
