Most linktab files contain only one line, indicating where Softimage is located on both platforms. Here's a sample linktab file:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk /usr/Softimage

• The Windows path must come before the Linux path and they must be separated by a tab, not spaces.

• Linux path names are case-sensitive, but Windows paths are not (they are case-insensitive).

• Do not use slashes (\ or /) at the end of the linktab paths.

• If you are using textures or memory-mapped images, you must have entries that point to the directories containing them.

• You can use an exclamation mark to distinguish a mounted volume from the rest of the path. For example, if \foobar\users\fred (Windows) is equivalent to /home/fred (Linux) and F:\foobar\users is a mounted volume, the line in the linktab file would look like this:

  \foobar\users!fred /home/fred
