I understand that Windows shortcuts and symlinks are different and the reasons why they are different. However, I want to be able to process files pointed to by Windows shortcuts using Cygwin utilities. In order to be able to do this, I need a utility that will take a Windows shortcut name, xxx.lnk, and return either a Cygwin (preferred) or Windows path to the target of the shortcut. I could then do something like:
cyg_utility `shortcut_deref win_shortcut.lnk` Does this utility exist? If not, does anyone have sufficient information on the Windows shortcut structure to allow me to write one? Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
