Symbolic links?  (maybe).

Of course, I know of no OS nowadays that enforces that archaic 8.3 naming 
convention.

The better way.  Should work with most browsers.

Works fine on Mac.  I believe the requisite is Adobe reader.

I was disappointed not to find the mention of Documentation.pdx as an
anchor in index.htm.  So I tried making it one in a copy of index.htm
Didn't work.  Some browsers are dumbfounded by it, and I couldn't
fix associations; others try opening it as a page within the browser, but
the description in index.htm says it must be opened only by Adobe
Reader.  Shame on those browsers.  Grrr.

That's the one I'm familiar with.  Is there anything similar for VM?
