Is there some way to generate links to the programs in them other
than typing busybox and hand-making a symlink for each program listed?

Try the attached script. Put busybox in /bin. cd to /bin, make a few
basic symlinks (sed, ln, grep, tail, expr, sh, chmod, rm, tr), and
execute the script. All links will be put in the current directory.

For BL2 I would instead put it into /bin/busybox. I made a thorough mess of things trying to put it into /bin as in BL3 - everything stopped working and I had to rescue with BL3. The paths are different.

Since there are already links to the programs in the current busybox in the target location, it should be enough to copy that to some backup file, and then copy the new busybox-1.01 to plain busybox, to use the old symlinks for the above. Then your script to generate the rest of them.

Pine won't let me view the script as text, says it is in 'SH' format.

You will probably want to modify this script to put some links in
/sbin instead.

I notice some of the links to busybox programs are already in /sbin, which is before busybox on the path. Which other ones should be moved there?
