Product Description:

Psync was written by Dan Kogai. Information on original version is here: http://www.dan.co.jp/cases/macosx/psync.html

Psync is part of and requires MacOSX:File package. Source code is here (you have to build it): http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MacOSX-File

If you prefer ready/prebuilt/binary package:

for Panther just download and install this: http://www.jacek-dom.net/software/psync/psync.dmg
for Jaguar: download and install this: http://www.dan.co.jp/cases/macosx/MacOSX-File-0.66.dmg, then download http://www.jacek-dom.net/software/psync/psync and put in /usr/local/bin.

If you use PsyncX (http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyncx), please note that it installs psync in /usr/bin (instead of /usr/local/bin). After installing copy or link psync from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin.

What's new in this version:

Fixed symlink update

Don Kogai has updated MacOS::File package to version 0.69. However, he did not include any of my changes to psync. The psync file in his package did not change, so my changes still apply.

Mac OS X 10.3

rpinsky ~ You call for help, asking for someone to take pity on you. It would then be courteous for you to acknowledge a response. If you have died in the interim please forgive my disturbing you.

The first time you try to use synchronizing CCC offers to download and install psync for you. If you had accepted that offer you wouldn't have all this bother. Use:

psync for CCC (Panther/Tiger)

It's just luck that I spotted your post here. For questions about CCC use:

Bombich forums, and...

look at the Stickies in "Tips" and in "Troubleshooting" and use the Search button. You would have found masses to read about psync, including the one here 'tweaked' by Jacek Stanislawski. If you still have a question post it there in "Troubleshooting".

Help. I am an unsophisticated but happy user of Carbon Copy with OS X.4.5, cloning my Home volume to an external HD. I began to downoad psync, got scared by the notion, on the download site, that to use psync with my Tiger OS I will need a difficult-sounding patch or file add-on called something like Mac-File. Can someone take pity and tell me what to do?
