Frank,

> Windows does support soft links through "junctions". What is more

Good to hear! But look at the documentation. "junctions" are implemented
through "reparse point" and the restrictions are:

<<
The following restrictions apply to reparse points:

    * Reparse points can be established for a directory, but the
directory must be empty. Otherwise, the NTFS file system fails to
establish the reparse point. In addition, you cannot create directories
or files in a directory that contains a reparse point.
    * Reparse points and extended attributes are mutually exclusive. The
NTFS file system cannot create a reparse point when the file contains
extended attributes, and it cannot create extended attributes on a file
that contains a reparse point.
    * Reparse point data, including the tag and optional GUID, cannot
exceed 16 kilobytes. Setting a reparse point fails if the amount of data
to be placed in the reparse point exceeds this limit.
>>

So I think I was right, Windows does not support soft links ;)

Pascal.
