Yes. In linux, you can easily create one: `ln -s .. parent` [download] If you then move the link somewhere else, e.g. with `mv parent ..` [download] it will now point to its new parent directory. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes. In linux, Make that any POSIX-compatible system. A limit is the filesystem: The respective native filesystems generally support symlinks, but e.g. FAT does not. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]
