                     11: .I Macget
                     12: receives a file from a Macintosh running MacTerminal.
                     13: The File Transfer settings should specify the "Modem7"
                     14: transfer method and a "MacTerminal" remote system.
                     15: This program is designed for use with the 0.5 Beta and newer
                     16: versions of MacTerminal, but includes a compatibility option for the
                     17: older -0.15X Almost-Alpha version.
                     18: .PP
                     19: To use this program, log into the unix system using MacTerminal,
                     20: start macget with the desired options, select "Send File..." from
                     21: the "File" menu, and open the file you wish to send.
                     22: If MacTerminal is properly configured, it will put up an indicator
                     23: showing how much of the file has been transfered.
                     24: Several Control-X's may be used to force macget
                     25: to give up if the transfer fails.
                     26: .PP
                     27: The optional 
                     28: .I file
                     29: parameter specifies the name to use when creating the unix files,
                     30: otherwise the Mac file name is used
                     31: (with spaces converted to underscores).

                     39: .IB file .data ,
                     40: and
                     41: .IB file .rsrc .
                     42: This mode is useful for storing Mac files so they can
                     43: be restored later using
                     44: .IR macput .

                     70: .IB file .text
                     71: is created.
