(see "lndir" from the X-files) Then as you attempt to update, you will get errors because the file is "ro". I know that it is a bit of a pain to remove the link, but a good filter on the output file can automate it. If there is additional interest in doing this, I might try to arrange for ctm to do it automatically.
