Of course it would be ok to make symlinks to files which _don't_
And without copying and unique names there are problems with files dir1/fig1.eps and dir2/fig2.eps and some more problems which aare covered in the old discussions > reference any other files, although I'm not sure if that will be a big > advantage since the temp dir will be deleted later anyway.

Yes. But this is something that only very few programs support. Do you want to create a .eps mover? Georg
