win32utils devel - Mar 2005 - Ruby code to create junctions on NTFS volumes.

Here is some Ruby code for creating junctions on NTFS volumes.

These are the main routines:

Dir.junction?(dir) => true if dir is a junction

Dir.reparse_target(dir) => returns the target of a junction, or dir

Dir.create_junction(junctName, existingTarget) => creates a junctName 
junction pointing to existingTarget

(also used (Dan''s?) GetLastError code and did some simple wide/narrow 
character conversion)

Timothy, I was able to test your code out tonight. It is very very 
awesome! This is a big help! Thank you so much!

Daniel,

Could this code get put into win32-dir ?
