I tried again with fresh rsync3.0 builds for both arch's and lipo's  
them together. Tested on PPC Leopard and Tiger, It now shows perfect  
score on the metadata test and creation dates ok too! Now waiting to  
hear from intel friends. I assume that side will work fine as it did  
before.
So we may now have a universal binary rsync for OSX. Great! Not sure  
what lipo does exactly as it just seems to double the size of rsync.  
Does it just provide both versions inside with  a gate directing the  
present architecture to the right one? Rob
