Hello!
I've been gone for a week; sorry I couldn't reply earlier.
Vim doesn't provide a function that returns whether or not a file is itself a
symbolic link; so netrw uses the resolve() function and compares the result to
the filename as returned by fnamemodify():
fnamemodify(filename,"") != resolve(filename)
As shown by your post, evidently this is inadequate. I've made a modification
that hopefully will do better... please try netrw v125g, available from my
website as: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW .
Thank you for the feedback!
