Set foreground priority, run a list with a single button and more with Priority Master II Version 2.5 Free fully functional demo available. http://www.prioritymaster.com/ ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Steffen Siebert (siebert@SteffenSiebert.de) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files. The OS/2 Port of version 2.2.1 is available now from the web site at: http://www.SteffenSiebert.de/ports/rsync.html The current port has several limitations: 1.You can receive files only on devices which support long filenames. 2.The rsync port does not work in daemon mode. Thus the --daemon option is not available. 3.The server mode seems to have bugs. I'm not sure whether these bugs can be fixed in rsync since the problem might be the OS/2 rshd. There is a mailing list for the discussion of rsync and its applications. It is open to anyone to join. I will announce new versions on this list. To join the mailing list send mail to listproc@samba.org with no subject and a body of "subscribe rsync Your Name". To send mail to everyone on the list send it to rsync@samba.org. The original Unix source is available from the web site at: http://rsync.samba.org/ Please send questions regarding the OS/2 port toFor other questions please use the mailing list at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
