I just tried to link some files having names like
rcs*.exe (under OS/2). Previously there was no problem
though this time it gave me a rcs: access denied.
That was only natural since I just made a subdir named
rcs. However, the linked file should be named rcs.exe
instead of rcs, so whats the problem?
BTW. everything is fine again when the dir rcs is renamed.
