You cant use macput and macget, but it is very easy to download
using either Kermit or xmodem. You need a very simple program
to pad the .data and .rsrc files produced by xbin to multiples
of 128 bytes (null padded). Then cat these files with .info
to produce a .bin file.
In other words:   1. pad file.data > tmp1; pad file.rscr > tmp2;
   cat file.info tmp1 tmp2 > file.bin
The .bin file can then be downloaded with xmodtran (xmodem) or
kermit. Red ryder will recognize a binary file and produce a very
nice display showing the progress of the download.
