Introduction

This is a simple NT console application that allows NT users to create hard links to files. Hardlinks provide a neat way to share the same physical data using two different file names.

In NTFS, one file can have many names at the same time. All of the names are equally real, and no one of them is preferred to the others.

There are good uses for Hardlinks, but you need to be careful when using them!

I've used them for:

Installation

There is no special procedure to follow. Just place the program (MoHardLink) in the Windows directory or in a dedicated folder (directory). Since this is a console application it would make sense to have the program in the path.

MoHardLink has been developed and tested on NT 4.0 and requires no additional runtime DLLs.

Usage

MoHardLink <source file> [<new hard link filename>]

Where:

An example use would be:

MoHardLink s:\MoHardLink\Release\MoHardLink.exe s:\www\downloads\MoHardLink.exe

This command ensures that any new build is kept upto date in the WWW download directory. Any change in the Release directory is automatically updated without fail!
