        !            24: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !            25: .B tftp
        !            26: [
        !            27: host
        !            28: ]
        !            29: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            30: .I Tftp
        !            31: is the user interface to the Internet TFTP
        !            32: (Trivial File Transfer Protocol),
        !            33: which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine.
        !            34: The remote
        !            35: .I host
        !            36: may be specified on the command line, in which case
        !            37: .I tftp
        !            38: uses
        !            39: .I host
        !            40: as the default host for future transfers (see the
        !            41: .B connect
        !            42: command below).
        !            43: .SH COMMANDS
        !            44: Once
        !            45: .I tftp
        !            46: is running, it issues the prompt
        !            47: .B tftp>
        !            48: and recognizes the following commands:
        !            49: .TP
        !            50: \fBconnect\fP \fIhost-name\fP [ \fIport\fP ]
        !            51: Set the
        !            52: .I host
        !            53: (and optionally
        !            54: .IR port )
        !            55: for transfers.
        !            56: Note that the TFTP protocol, unlike the FTP protocol,
        !            57: does not maintain connections betweeen transfers; thus, the
        !            58: .I connect
        !            59: command does not actually create a connection,
        !            60: but merely remembers what host is to be used for transfers.
        !            61: You do not have to use the 
        !            62: .I connect
        !            63: command; the remote host can be specified as part of the
        !            64: .I get
        !            65: or

        !            69: \fBmode\fP \fItransfer-mode\fP
        !            70: Set the mode for transfers; 
        !            71: .I transfer-mode
        !            72: may be one of

        !            74: or
        !            75: .IR binary .

        !            92: .I host:filename
        !            93: to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
        !            94: If the latter form is used,
        !            95: the hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
        !            96: If the remote-directory form is used, the remote host is
