[Info-vax] Hard links on VMS ODS5 disks

[Steven Schweda]

> * I don't use them

   I use them mostly for testing programs which should be able to handle
them (Info-ZIP Zip and UnZip, VMSTAR, and so on).  (Symlinks need more
special handling than hard links.  Hard links seem pretty harmless.)

   As I recall, some version(s) of OpenSSL kits ("0.9.8%", et al.?) used
symlinks for a bunch of header files, making those kits hard to use if
they were unpacked using a program and/or onto a file system which did
not support symlinks.  There may have been other cases, too.
