Having a far-flung codebase, we have many linked resources. Apparently
not so cleverly, I added linked resources by manually editting the project
file. In spite of my careful efforts to mimic the XML that results from
adding a resouce through the IDE ala
<link>
<name>Shared Source/CAgPoint.cpp</name>
<type>1</type>
<locationURI>VAR_src0/AgData/CAgPoint.cpp</locationURI>
</link>
these resources do not appear! No errors ocurr when opening the project.
In what secret place are these resources also listed? Not in the cproject
where of course I looked. Any ideas?

Have you defined the VAR_src0 Link Variable in your workspace? Have you
tried refreshing the project where the link was added?

I have opened and closed the project and refreshed it. The linked files
that show up are the ones I added through the IDE, only. These are in the
same folder 'Shared Source' and use the same Path Variable 'VAR_src0'.
They appear adjacent to the links I added by editting the .project file.
I looked at .project an editor that allows me to see white space and
confirmed the format of the <link></link> blocks are identical at least to
the naked eye.
Vexing.
After some research I have demonstrated to my safisfaction that two
identical .project files can produce differing results when opened in the
IDE -- the difference being only the way they are produced, in the IDE
versus in a text editor. This must mean that information is stored
somewhere else. Prowling for such an entity I found the '.metadata'
folder (same level as my 'EclipseProj' project folder) and in there the
'org.eclipse.cdt.core' folder and in there the
'ElipseProj.1216852405719.pdom' file. This 3.3 megabyte file has a
modification time same as the .project file.
The 'cdt' may be a clue that I should not have come over here from the cdt
group after all!
(Thanks for responding to both of my postings, Dave.)

The pdom file contains the indexer data.
Two identical .project files should produce identical results if your
workspace settings (preferences) are identical i.e. you open them in the
same workspace or you export/import your workspace preferences.
If the export/import of your workspace preferences does not give identical
results when importing the two project files it might be possible that not
all of your workspace preferences are exported. These preferences are
stored in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings. You can
manually check them if something is missing.
In addition, you might have a look at the files in the directory
project/.settings. There are some additional preferences stored (project
specfic settings that override workspace preferences).
