[ale] Hey, deb-heads!

[James P. Kinney III]

I think there is a misreading of the ls command. It is ls -1 (one) not
l(ell). That will format the output to be a single column of file names.

Processing the indiviual fields in the j loop is what is needed. It will
make a symlink from each real file to a common location for each name
found in each iteration of the outer loop.
