It is compiled using Borland C 3.1 to run in real-mode DOS (because my target was a hand-held computer with little memory). There are a few compromises, for example it is client only, it does not support rsh or ssh and the file names on the server must be in DOS format if they are to be sync'd correctly. Its main use is in keeping a set of files, e.g. on a hand-held computer, in sync with a set on a remote server. It is more efficient than ftp because it transmits only the changes to files, and it is better able to pick up from where it left off if the link goes down mid session. There is more information and a link to the code at http://www.2net.co.uk/dos.html . Hope someone finds this useful Chris. -- Chris Simmonds 2net Limited chris AT 2net DOT co DOT uk http://www.2net.co.uk/ Tel: +44 (0)1962 869003 Fax: +44 (0)870 056 7556 "If it's not connected, it's not effective"(tm)
