	I posted the original query on this subject... 

	Thru discussions via Email with someone who's name unfortunately
escapes me at the moment, I thought of perhaps finally finding a use for a
volume label flag being set within a subdirectory... Obviously, a directory
has no clue whether or not something is linked to it, unless we tell it so.
Perhaps we could use a directory entry marked as a volume label to give the
"linked" directory a way to find out who it's "linkee"'s are.
	
	Oh, well, just throwing out a bit more for you folks to chew on...
BTW, I am _not_ planning on writing a utility to do this, so you need not
worry that _I_ will be making money on any ideas anyone may come up with.
I cannot speak for anyone else, tho.
