Pedantically speaking, I believe it was UC Berkeley who added symlinks
to their FFS (Fast File System) in 4.? BSD Unix.  Admittedly, SunOS
was basically a port of BSD Unix from the VAX to Motorola CPUs.
Since you could get a Sun for a lot less money then a VAX and actually
have Unix supported on it by the
hardware vendor, Sun systems were probably the first place that most
people outside of academia
saw symbolic links.  However, it's still not the case that Sun invented them.
