[ale] compile error -> "can't restore hardlink to...." HUH ?

[Courtney Thomas]

Thank you for your effort.

I would have included the error messages, [actually this complaint is 
repetitive and involves a number of such links], and the file names are 
REAL long  :-)

BTW, what way do you recommend to save the compiler output to a file so 
I can include it as an email attachment ?

Your are correct that the file that is to be linked is missing but the 
one with which it is to be linked does exist.

Appreciatively,

Courtney
