You're using the wrong tool -- you want a binary diff program instead. Run that on your files, then rsync/tar/cp/whatever the diffs. I don't use it myself, but a Google search for "binary diff" lands XDelta <http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta/>. - Adrian -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
