Re: Mistake running ADDLNK OBJ('/qsys.lib') NEWLNK('/test/')

No, creating a symbolic link to a directory is not recursive. The
directory is symbolic, but the contents are real....

Think of the symbolic link as a short cut....once you traverse it
you're in the same place you'd have been taking the long way around.

I guess I don't understand about symbolic links...
I thought that all links under the symbolic link "/test"
would be symbolic as well, and would not actually delete the
physical object, only the symbolic link...
