I have about 99 ".lnk" files in my /bin dir.
What are these for?
They appear to be explorer links to various things, to list
some files w/o the .lnk extension:
( /bin/ls -T 0 -x -w 96 |sed -r 's/\.lnk//g' )
Console2 a2ping a5toa4 adhocfilelist
amstex arara arlatex authorindex
bibexport bundledoc cachepic chkweb
cron_diagnose.sh ctanify ctanupload de-macro
dtxgen dviasm dvigif dvilj6
So why are these in the /bin directory since they don't
work on the command line (like in BASH).
They do work in explorer, but most of them are console utilities.
So why would ".lnk" files be used in cygwin packages since they don't
work under cygwin, but are 'explorer' links. Note, these are not
hard nor soft links as one might create with 'ln [-s]'.
