Just an update,
I have confirmed that rsync compiled on an intel won't work on PPC and
vice versa. A lot of people have both kinds of macs so it would be
good to have a universal binary for rsync 3.0, otherwise it means two
separate rsync builds. So any help on compiling a universal rsync for
macs would be much appreciated. The web page at ADC explains about
this but I don't have knowledge in that area. Thanks Rob
