Thanks for the suggestions. In windows (Windows 7, 64-bit), I couldn't
get "file.symlink" to work, but "file.link" did return the result to be
"TRUE" but at the target location, I did not see any link.
Not sure I am missing anything more.. Hope it's nothing to do with
administrator accounts and administrator rights... Is it something I
should check with my system administrator?
You may need to update your R: although the posting guide asked you to
do that before posting. There was a relevant bug fix in 2.15.3.
Thanks,

Dear Rxperts..
Got a couple of quick q's..
I am using R in windows environment (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
a) Is there a way to create symbolic links to some data files?
See ?file.symlink. ??'symbolic link' should have got you there.
Note that this is not very useful for files, but that is a Windows
and not an R restriction.
> b) How do I read data from symbolic links?
The same ways you read data from files.
Thanks so much..
Santosh
