This is an old story... That's why nobody used links on AFFS. AFAI remember
AmigaDos has not a command to make links :)) I had to DL it from somewhere
in the net...
So, link support is not so important. If we can read/write files and dirs
on an AFFS disk reliably, IMHO it's enough for 99.999% of people.

Well, I had a nomber of crashes and filesystem dameges (and a format by
mistake 8-/) during my 5 years of Amiga adveture. Well, I never lost
a single file, since tools like DS and QBT can find and restore the whole
FS structure. I can't say the same about FAT :-((((
