    Hard links should work.  If you have privilege to create a link
and the file does not already exist (bith implied by the successful
soft link) then there should be nothing wrong with a hard link.

Again - bizarre system trouble.  How can a rename operation be "not
supported" unless you lack write privilege (but you created the SC
file) or the file NXD002001.0R8\; already exists.  Look in your data
area for ??D002* and see if there is already an NX file.

These are mysterious errors and you should ask for help, but I am
short of ideas about what is wrong with your system.  INDXR works so
well everywhere that I did not even know that it does a rename.
