[texhax] using /include

[Wayne Richter]

Thanks greatly.
Using symbolic links works perfectly for me (using linux), whereas putting 
in the file pathname does not.
I am surprised that none of the primary books (by Lamport, Gratzer, or 
The Latex Companion) mentions this problem (or its solution), as far I can 
tell.

Now I will see if this also works with TeX-Live on the Mac :-)
Thanks again,

Wayne
