Get a symbolic link's reference.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to get the path a symbolic link points to? For example, I have a file /foo/x, and a symbolic link /foo/bar/link, which points to /foo/x. I would like to get the path /foo/x (or ../x) somehow from /foo/bar/link

     You could parse the output from a CommandShell command (from the
OSProcess package).
