I can think of three others (on Unix - it's sorta silly to count them
on a system that doesnt' have links) off the top of my head:

	ex-vi-edit
	csh--sh-a.out (hmm - make it four: sh--sh also)
	rsh-/usr/hosts

Your soft links only? My personal links split about 70-30 the other
way. On the other hand, system wide (on my systems), there are _far_
more links to files (whether soft or hard) than links to directories.
There are over 1700 in /usr/hosts alone.
