Actually, this is dependant on TCP/IP, which happens to be a part of
BSD 4.2.  And if you are really tacky (or a bad typist), you can use
"rcp -r <src> <dest>" in place of "find <src> -print | cpio -pdmuv 
<dest>".  It will get the files from here to there in a very timely
fashion, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't maintain timestamps.  N.B.
this is for Wollongong TCP/IP, dunno about others.
