ALIAS Create
ALIAS Resolve
ALIAS Create returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure or if the destination file already exists.
ALIAS Resolve returns in $2 the alias type or -1 if the file can't be resolved. It first attempts to resolve it as a symbolic link, then as a bookmark (Finder alias). Note that there is no concept of "resolving" a hard link. All hard links to the same file node are considered "real" paths. Normally, when a hard link is passed, the original path is returned.
##Examples
$source:=Structure file
$target:=System folder(Desktop)+"test"
//result:=ALIAS Create ($source;$target;Link Symbolic)
result:=ALIAS Create ($source;$target;Link Alias)
//$result:=ALIAS Create ($source;$target;Link Hard)
$resolved:=ALIAS Resolve ($target;$aliasType)
