# this script creates an 'old' link to my trash pile.

# a bug is that I can't get -L or -h to work in the
# if statement (despite what it says in the manual)
# the only untoward consequence seems to be that if one
# tries to make a link twice, a funny self referential file
# ~/misc/trash/trash will be made ...
# the third time it yells that the link exists (which is ok)

  # should use -L or -h but this
  # does NOT work, it says:
  #    if: Badly formed number
