Not in principle, but unless you're also going to handle the same fork emulation and Unix semantics that Cygwin is doing, it's unlikely to be a weekend project :-) In theory a native port might use threads and overlapping I/O very effectively, but I think it would be fairly tough to do without some significant changes to the existing code. -- David /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen \ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | FitLinxx, Inc. \ Phone: (203) 708-5192 | / 860 Canal Street, Stamford, CT 06902 \ Fax: (203) 316-5150 \ \-----------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
