Yeah, actually if it comes to that, rsync is right there on your
computer and would do just fine. In fact, in some ways it's better,
because it doesn't know about bundles and just dives into them like
normal folders. However, I wrote my own tool because I wanted my own
interface that behaved the way I wanted, and because I wanted to emulate
the Finder's behavior when copying (which I do by having the Finder
actually *do* the copying). I give it away for free, but I'm not
actually suggesting anyone else would want to use it. :) m.
