- Syntax: get <archive> <file> [parts]
- Get the specified file from the specified archive. The file may
- have been split into parts because some mailers cannot send large
- files, and in this case you will receive as many messages as the
- number of parts the file has been split into. Binary files are
- uuencoded, so you will need to combine all the parts sent and
- uudecode. The requested file may be a tar file (containing other
- files and perhaps directories) in which case when you uudecode,
- a tar file will be created and you will need to run the UNIX
- utility 'tar' on it to extract the files and directories.
-
- If certain parts are specified, then only these parts (if they exist)
- will be sent. The parts are specified as numbers separated by spaces.
- You may not specify ranges of parts (e.g. 1-3).
