Corrupted file/directory structure in MOS_SDK?

    Hi,

    I think I`ve found out that some subdirectories in MOS_SDK directory
    (after installation) cannot be deleted neither from Ambient, nor from
    Diskmaster2, nor from CLI.

    Diskmaster thinks these directories are files with 0 byte size,
    Ambient assigns no default drawer icons to these and displays them
    with a default tool icon and I cant delete them from Ambient.

    When I open a shell and try to delete these by hand, some of them get
    deleted and some give an error: no file to delete, altough the
    directory is there.

    You may want to try this by installing the MOS_SDK and delete it (to
    be installed again of course :))

    I tried to gather a list of these `undeleteable` dirs:

    It`s really weird.

    MOS_SDK/DevEnv/bin/
    perl5.00.502
    gunzip
    zcat
    awk
    bunzip2
    flex++
    gawk
    ppc-morphos-gcc

    MOS_SDK/DevEnv/ppc-morphos/bin
    ar
    as
    ld
    nm
    postlink
    ranlib
    strip

    MOS_SDK/DevEnv/lib/
    american-hash

    MOS_SDK/DevEnv/gcc-lib/ppc-morphos/2.95.3
    libstdc++.a

    MOS_SDK/DevEnv/gcc-lib/ppc-morphos/2.95.3/libb32
    libstdc++.a

    Those are softlinks, you should be able to delete them with the 'rm' command from the SDK.

    That solved the problem. What are these softlinks? I didn't see these kinds of links in AmigaOS (MOS) yet.

    Entries pointing to a file which resides in a different directory.
    On UNIX there a re no Assings, so they do it this way.
