Another handy trick is to use the newlink command to build symbolic links to
create a folder of  browesable files. Symbolic links are like permanent file
equates. This can also speed up SAMBA if the group has many files in it. For
example, one could create a folder called pubsys and newlink pointers to
systart, iodefault, and other files of interest. Creating a much smaller
folder that is easier to read.
