From: "David H M Spector" <SPECTOR@NYU-CMCL1.ARPA> Office: Rm 329, Warren Weaver Hall, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Address: 251 Mercer Street, NY, NY 10012 Work-Phone: (212) 460-7287 Network-Address: SPECTOR@NYU-CMCL1.ARPA, or ...!allegra!cmcl2!cmcl1!spector MCImail-Address: DSpector/234-3606 EasyLink-Address: SPECTORD CompuServe-Address: 76174,61 I have been using Macput and MacGet with the beta releases and the Official release of Macterminal for some time. All of the caveats that applied to the beta, apply to the release. I.e., 1) XON/OFF on macterminal must be turned OFF! 2) Will NOT work over RLOGIN 3) Must set the remote system to Mactermnal in the file transer dialog box. 4) If you are using a beta release before .5, you MUST use use "macput -o", as these versions use modem7, not XMODEM. A very important thing when using macput/macget is that you should install the "sleep" patch, other wise you are doomed to get all those silly "Error in GetBlk... -39" errors. With all this in mind, I will say that I have been transfer in large files ( > ~100Kb) at 9600 baud and 1200 Baud with no problems. Those who need this patch, please send mail directly, I will send you both the patch, and the corrected versions of MacPut and MacGet.
