Exactly your problem.  MacTerminal 1.1 format is NOT what Red Ryder (or
ANY other MacBinary telecommunications program for that matter) expects
to receive.  Macput/get is only useful with MacTerminal 1.1 (or any
program compatible with that protocol).

You need to use an XMODEM (or YMODEM) program like umodem, sz, rz, and
so on and then it works fine.

Hope this clears up the confusion.
