Description Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-17 14:01:06 UTC 
On a SuSE LINUX 9.3 you can do

tcsh/new> file ../../hugo
../../hugo: cannot open `../../hugo' (No such file or directory)
tcsh/new> ls -l hugo
lrwxrwxrwx  1 werner suse 10 Aug 17 15:47 hugo -> ../../hugo

which is very use to create symbolic link within a build root
directory like /var/tmp/tcsh-6.14.00-build/

g31:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/tcsh-6.14.00$ /bin/ln -fs ../../bin/tcsh
/var/tmp/tcsh-6.14.00-build/usr/bin/csh
/bin/ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/tcsh-6.14.00-build/usr/bin/csh' to
`../../bin/tcsh': No such file or directory

... which fail with current STABLE
