We have a local area network of UNIX based PCs running TCP-IP, and I
was asked if there was any software that will broadcast a file to all
machines on the network.  I didn't know of any and was wondering if
anyone out there in netland knew of any.  If not, I guess I will have
to write something myself.  I would appreciate any infomation about
programs or algorithms that do file broadcasting.  It must use a broadcast,
not a copy to one machine then copy to another method (i.e. UDP), and
if a machine is up it must reliably send the file.

Thanks in advance for any help!
