Sorry, I didn't make it clear enough.  I install Cygwin tree with
other goodies on a Samba volume exported from a Linux machine.  It
works fine on client machines.  However, when I am in the Lab or on
the floor, machines are not always networked.  I made a CD from Linux
side and try to achieve the same thing.  he file content on the CD is
correct, (!<symlink>xemacs-21.1.10.exe^@), with a permission of
r--r--r--.  However, it is not recognized as symlink by Cygwin.  I
read the Cygwin doc and it mentioned system bit.  What is it in Unix
terms?  How do I set it with mkisofs?
