  <title>Replacement for rcp/mirror that has many more features</title>

  <description>rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for

bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the

differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both

sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.

At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of

diffs between two files normally requires local access to both

files.

A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with

this package.</description>
