I had a problem at first using this version of the program under 7.0 but
Steve solved it.  Most people have MacTCP in the System Folder ROOT with
an alias to it in Control Panels.  That is because the programs (Eudora, etc)
search for the TCP file in the System Folder.  Newer programs (XferIt 1.3)
search for MacTCP in the Control Panels folder (if running 7.0).

If you have MacTCP in the System Folder with an alias in Control Panels,
the XferIt 1.3 will fail to find MacTCP.  So you should put MacTCP in
the System Folder AND in Control Panels (not an alias) so MacTCP will
work with all programs that search in either place for it.

Eventually, all programs will work with MacTCP in just the Control Panels
folder (maybe).  So we are now in the changover process where we need to
accommodate programs that work either way until they are all recompiled
using the newer libraries.
