macintosh metadata madness

[Victor Shoup]

Like many other Mac OSX users, I have found it frustrating that rsync  
is not as usable
as one would like it to be on OSX.   I've posted some software on my  
website
that I find useful, and that others may find useful as well.  It  
provides tools that allow
one to access and manipulate OSX metadata, and in particular, to  
backup (and restore)
this metadata to a non-OSX, unix machine (using rsync, of course).

If you're interested, go to http://www.shoup.net and follow the link to

Cheers,
