Where'd you get an ln that knows -R? The man page (or ln --help)
lists an amazing collection of obscure options, but no -R.
However, I found lndir by grepping through the Slackware lists: it
seems to have come as part of XFree, and I've extracted the executable
and man page from that source - one thing about plain ol' compressed
tar files, you can get at them without learning weird new commands -
and it seems happy in its new setting. Building the directory
backbone automagically is a real plus for what I wanted this for. ;-)
