I'm thankful to say I got this response from several people and that
I found a copy of the sources I had picked up from net.sources a
while back.  I have compiled them and used macput with mixed
success.  The transfer has always been smooth except that I get two dialog
boxes, one saying that GetBlock failed, and the other saying the
transfer was unsuccessful.  However, so far the transfer has been
good.  The guage always goes to 100% and the file appears complete. 
There must be some closing handshake error, or my setup of the Mac
is wrong.  I've tried it setup as a Mac-to-Mac transfer and not a
Mac-to-Mac transfer with the same results.  Perhaps I don't have the
latest macput/macget.
