Well, I don't run Windows on any of my systems, so someone else probably has better advice here. I'm pretty sure git runs on Windows, and in theory you should be able to do something similar to the Bash script/cron job setup I described using batch files. But I'm no expert on that. Another alternative would be to write a short ELisp program to do the same thing, using `run-at-time' and `shell-command'...though I don't know how shell-command works on Windows. Also, Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) promises to do two-way file sync between *nix and Windows. I've never tried it; has anyone else? --=20 Best, Richard (If possible, please encrypt your reply to me using my PGP key: Key ID: CF6FA646 Fingerprint: 9969 43E1 CF6F A646.
