Making alias original

I want to set up a folder with Document A and two aliases on my server.

When someone copies that folder onto their own computer, I want them to get Document A and the original files that the aliases were representing.

Ideas?

-- given the reference to a folder, f
tell application "Finder"
	set aF to files of entire contents of f -- get them all in Finder form
	repeat with sf in aF -- review them
		if class of sf is alias file then
			set contents of sf to original item of sf as alias -- replace the contained alias with its original item
		else
			set contents of sf to sf as alias -- just convert the Finder reference to an alias
		end if
	end repeat
end tell

I want this alias thing to attach only to specific folders. Can that happen?

I couldn’t understand the script and what aF and sF are supposed to represent. Do I need to place a path every time “F” is mentioned? I tried that and it didn’t work.

Also, I need this to happen on about 150 folders, with about 30 users constantly accessing them. I would hope to be able to settle things with one folder then duplicate that folder, change a couple of names and be done.

Somehow I thought this was an easier task than it is.
