# Modified slightly for ImageMagick by Bob Friesenhahn, 1999
#
# Used to create a copy of the a directory tree that has links for all
# non- directories.  If you are building the distribution on more than
# one machine, you should use this script.
#
# If your main sources are located in /usr/local/src/X and you would like
# your link tree to be in /usr/local/src/new-X, do the following:
#
# 	%  mkdir /usr/local/src/new-X
#	%  cd /usr/local/src/new-X
# 	%  lndir ../X
#
# Note: does not link files beginning with "."  Is this a bug or a feature?
#
# Improvements over R3 version:
#   Allows the fromdir to be relative: usually you want to say "../dist"
#   The name is relative to the todir, not the current directory.
#
# Bugs in R3 version fixed:
#   Do "pwd" command *after* "cd $DIRTO".
#   Don't try to link directories, avoiding error message "<dir> exists".
#   Barf with Usage message if either DIRFROM *or* DIRTO is not a directory.
