frommac - Receive files from the Macintosh
SYNOPSIS
frommac [ - options ]
DESCRIPTION
frommac receives files from the Macintosh and processes
them subject to the options specified.
OPTIONS
In the absence of any options, frommac receives a single
file and stores it in MacBinary format, giving the output
file ".bin" extensions and placing it in the current work
ing directory.
-3 Write files in fork format (.info, .data and .rsrc
files.)
-f As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not cre
ated.
-r Write resource forks only (.rsrc files.)
-d Write data forks only (.data files.)
-u As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are inter
changed, the filename extension is .text.
-U As -u, but there is no filename extension.
-a Write files in AppleShare format. This option is
only valid if the program is compiled with support
for some form of AppleShare. The current directory
must be a valid AppleShare folder.
-s Write received files to standard output in MacBi
nary format.
-l List every file received.
-m Receive multiple files. Entering ^X (CNTRL-X)
after the last file will terminate the program.
-x Use the XMODEM protocol for transmission.
-y Use the YMODEM protocol for transmission (not yet
supported.)
-z Use the ZMODEM protocol for transmission (not yet
supported.)
-o Use the pre-beta version of XMODEM.
Normally you will not need this option because on
occasion, when network delays do occur, time-out
detection interferes with a good transmission.
Also, when for some reason the connection is broken
the program will normally receive a hang-up signal
and terminate. However, in some situations it
might be necessary to early detect time-outs
(because of communication loss or whatever, without
loss of connection). You should check whether use
of this option has profits in your situation or
not. Normally when transmission errors did occur
entering a number of times ^X (CNTRL-X) will grace
fully terminate the program.
-V Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other
information. Other options are ignored and the
program quits immediately.
-H Give short information about the options. Other
options are ignored and the program quits immedi
ately.
BUGS
As this is a beta release, there may still be some prob
lems.
