Does anyone know of a way to get the find distributed with SunOS 4.x to
follow symlinks in a file system? If i want to truly find a file on the
file system, i don't want to have to worry about find skipping large
portions of a file system simply because it doesn't want to follow those
links. I realize that one of the potential problems could be circular
links and infinite loops, but i would like it to be able to be forced to
do this anyway. Maybe there is a pd program that does this???
I looked at the FM and it did state that find will not follow symlinks.
