Aren't symlinks possibly with NTFS5?

"Symbolic links are only supported on Windows 2000/XP on local NTFS-5
file systems. On all other supported platforms, symlink() and readlink()
<http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/readlink.3.asp> fail. In addition,
symbolic links can only point to directories and not to an ordinary
file." - http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/symlink.3.asp

*File Name: *symlnk02.zip <http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/59717.html> -
"Lets you create Unix-style symbolic links on NTFS. Link any directory
or drive to any location on an NTFS drive. Link files so that multiple
locations point to the same data. Uses intuitive drag drop interface,
comes with inbuilt help." - http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/59717.html
