SubjectRe: NTFS-like streams?

Hi

have you tried using symlinks / hardlinks
or a fifo might be able todo what you want or mayby
you could use tee ? like

echo hello |tee x > y

i dont fully understand what you mean by stream
but a fifo would be like a stream put data in 1 end
and it comes out the other
