Unison can only sync between the same major.minor version, e.g. 2.40.63 can only sync with any 2.40.x, and no other 2.y.z . That's what motivated the multi-version install. It's probably worth looking at what is available in contemporary Linux distributions, Macports, Cygwin, ... and what the current install options are for prebuilt binaries for Windows or Mac OS X. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6kg8EACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9bAACfUGiLNAkKOUUGkm2oMF4ekhtO 3iUAn1BkRCCwTnO45g+CTwBFbMYBf6bv =hFn+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
