I tried two things: 1) creating the symlink with @exec using full directory spec. i.e. @exec /bin/ln -s /opt/realfile /opt/symlink and @cwd /opt @exec /bin/ln -s realfile symlink and it doesn't get done :-(. I can't figure out why. When it first did not work I added the /bin/ in case there was no environment set upon extraction, but did not help. The funny thing is that my package requires a program to run to initialize itself, and it works fine with an @exec. Thanks for your help, Tim --- Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc.
