From: Dave Johnson <ddj%brown.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> -------- macput.l -------- .TH MACPUT local "31 July 1984" .UC 4 .SH NAME macput \- send file to macintosh via modem7/macterminal .SH SYNOPSIS .B macput file .br .B macput [ .B \-rdu ] file [ .B \-t type ] [ .B \-a author ] [ .B \-n name ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Macput sends a file to 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. .PP To use this program, log into the unix system using MacTerminal, and run macput specifying the desired options and one file to be sent. If MacTerminal is properly configured, it will recognize that a file is arriving on the serial line and put up an indicator showing how much of the file has been sent. Several Control-X's may be used to force macput to give up if the transfer fails. .PP If none of the .B \-rdu flags are specified, .I macput sends three files to the mac: .IB file .info , .IB file .data , and .IB file .rsrc . This is useful for returning files to the mac which were stored using macget. .PP The .B \-r flag specifies .I resource mode. Either .IB file .rsrc or .I file will be sent to the Mac, along with a forged .B .info file and an empty .B .data file. The file sent becomes the resource fork of the Mac file. .PP The .B \-d flag specifies .I data mode. Either .IB file .data , .IB file .text or .I file will be sent to the Mac, along with a forged .B .info file and an empty .B .rsrc file. The file sent becomes the data fork of the Mac file. .PP The .B \-u flag requests .I unix mode, which is the same as .I data mode except unix newline characters are converted into carriage returns. Human-readable unix text files sent to the Mac using this option will be compatible with applications which expect "text only" files. .PP The .B \-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. .PP The remaining options serve to override the default file type, author, and file name to be used on the Mac. The default type and author for .I resource mode are "APPL" and "CCOM". .I data mode defaults are "TEXT", "????", and .I unix mode defaults are "TEXT" and "MACA". .SH SEE ALSO macget(local) .SH BUGS Doesn't work over flow controlled communication lines, or when using rlogin. .PP Doesn't set the bundle bit on resource files, to incorporate any icons into the Desk Top. Use setfile to set the bundle bit. .SH FEATURES Properly initializes the Creation Date. .SH AUTHOR Dave Johnson, Brown 7/31/84 -------- macget.l -------- .TH MACGET local "31 July 1984" .UC 4 .SH NAME macget \- receive file from macintosh via modem7/macterminal .SH SYNOPSIS .B macget [ .B \-rdu ] [file] .SH DESCRIPTION .I 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. .PP 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. .PP The optional .I file parameter specifies the name to use when creating the unix files, otherwise the Mac file name is used (with spaces converted to underscores). .PP If none of the .B \-rdu flags are specified, .I macget receives three files from the Mac: .IB file .info , .IB file .data , and .IB file .rsrc . This mode is useful for storing Mac files so they can be restored later using .IR macput . .PP The .B \-r flag specifies .I resource mode. Only .IB file .rsrc will be created, from the Mac file's resource fork. .PP The .B \-d flag specifies .I data mode. Only .IB file .data will be created, containing the data fork of the Mac file. .PP The .B \-u flag requests .I unix mode, in which carriage returns are converted into unix newline characters, and the unix file .IB 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. .PP The .B \-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. .SH SEE ALSO macput(local) .SH BUGS Doesn't work over flow controlled communication lines, or when using rlogin. .SH AUTHOR Dave Johnson, Brown 7/31/84 ----------- end of file
