Zync is a file synchronization application designed for PowerBooks.

Its purpose is to copy files back and forth between your PowerBook and a desktop
computer.

Put Zync on either computer, then configure it by selecting a "remote" and
a "local" folder from the Setup item in the Zync menu.  In the Setup dialog
you asked to enter information regarding the "remote" volume.  Zync can
automatically mount and unmount the remote volume in order to do the file
synchronization, so setup need to be done only once.

To synchronize your files, select "Zync Now" from the Zync menu.  If the
remote volume is not present then Zync will mount it.  Once the remote and
local volumes are found, Zync looks at every file and folder in the local
and remote volumes from the point where the "Remote Path" and "Local Path"s
start, copy files and folders from one disk to the other so that both
folders contain the latest files and folders found on either disk from the
starting folder paths.

Zync can be distributed freely.  Enjoy.
