Coming from an non-UNIX background, I'm not exactly clear on exactly what a symbolic link is. - How is a symlink different from a Classic Mac OS Alias? - Is it just plain text of the absolute path of the file? - What's the difference between Absolute and Relative symlinks? How about Hard Links? - While I know it's easy enough to create a symlink in the CLI, anyone aware of any GUI apps that create/deal with them? (I do know that LaunchBar has some link creation abilities.)
