XGetit is a short X program which uses anonymous FTP to retrieve a file specified by the primary X selection. To use it, select a reference to a file in the forms "host:path/file" or "path/file@host" then run xgetit. A window will appear giving you the status of the file transfer (click "Done" button to dismiss). For example, this file is available via anonymous FTP from contrib/xgetit.tar.Z@export.lcs.mit.edu which can also be written as export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xgetit.tar.Z Under X, use the mouse to select the file reference, then run xgetit. XGetit works well when installed as a menu option in your X root window. To "make" xgetit, first run "xmkmf" to create a Makefile from the Imakefile, then run "make".
