Hi,

If you do a

ln file1.abc file2.xyz

is there a way to erase one and they both go away?

Also, it shows that they both are the same size. Is it the case that 
there is only one instance of the data.

If this is not the case, then you might as well do cp file1.abc file2.xyz

In addition, which is quicker

ln file1.abc file2.xyz    or      cp file1.abc file2.xyz

Thanks,

Terry Bailey
