Before anyone gets too carried away with this, they should probably find out if it is legal to distribute. Rsync is covered by the GPL which demands that all parts of a work must be redistributable under GPL terms or it can't be distributed at all. I assume that the VSS SDK code can't be. There's an exception for components that are normally distributed with the operating system that might apply since this is a download from Microsoft and the download procedure checks to see if you are running windows. However, I think the exception requires dynamic linking and for each user to obtain his own copy of the non-gpl'd component separately. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
