Sorry for the non-Linux question, but there seem to be lots of
people here who understand Windows(tm) file systems.

I want to write a CDROM containing symbolic links and have it
readable by both Linux/Unix and Windows(tm).  So, can Windows(tm)
understand symbolic links on a rock-ridge cdrom?  While I'm at it,
what about Macs?  (The application is an HTML tree, which has a large
number of references to a common directory.)

Many thanks,
