macget

Macget receives a file from a Macintosh running MacTerminal.  The File
Transfer settings should specify the "Modem7" transfer method and a
"MacTerminal" remote system.  This program is designed for use with
the 0.5 Beta and newer versions of MacTerminal, but includes a
compatibility option for the older -0.15X Almost-Alpha version.

To use this program, log into the unix system using MacTerminal, start
macget with the desired options, select "Send File..." from the "File"
menu, and open the file you wish to send.  If MacTerminal is properly
configured, it will put up an indicator showing how much of the file
has been transfered.  Several Control-X's may be used to force macget
to give up if the transfer fails.

   world%  macget -u file

The optional file parameter specifies the name to use when creating
the unix files, otherwise the Mac file name is used (with spaces
converted to underscores).

If none of the -rdu flags are specified, macget receives three files
from the Mac: file.info, file.data, and file.rsrc.  This mode is
useful for storing Mac files so they can be restored later using
macput.

The -r flag specifies resource mode.  Only file.rsrc will be created,
from the Mac file's resource fork.

The -d flag specifies data mode.  Only file.data will be
created, containing the data fork of the Mac file.

The -u flag requests unix mode, in which carriage returns are
converted into unix newline characters, and the unix file file.text is
created.  A file saved from Mac applications as "text only" can be
transfered using this option to convert it to a normal unix text file.

The -o flag specifies "old" (version -0.15X) MacTerminal compatibility
mode.  You must manually disable XON/XOFF flow control in this version
to perform file transfer; this is done automatically in the newer
versions.
