Enough, already!
[for those who aren't aware of it, there is a difference between the
system call `link()', described in section 2 of the Unix Programmer's Manual,
and the `ln' command, described in section 1 of the manual.
The `ln' command "protects" users from themselves by not even calling the
`link()' system call if the target is a directory.
This is why Fred's example works, and why attempts to do it with `ln' don't.
Please stop the "Gee...it doesn't work on *my* Un*x box!" messages!
