There is some confusion about using Fetch to transfer applications from a Macintosh to a UNIX workstation, so MAE can then launch those applications. The Macintosh must have MacTCP running and be able to communicate to the UNIX host via TCP/IP. Follow these steps:
1) Launch Fetch on the Macintosh.
2) Open a connection to your UNIX workstation.
3) Click the "Put File" button in Fetch.
4) Fetch will put up a file dialog, you then navigate to the file you want
to send.
5) Highlight the filename, and select "Open".
6) Another dialog will open. Fetch will allow you to set the name of the
file as it will be saved on your UNIX workstation. Also here you must
change the transfer type to "AppleSingle". Fetch will generally default
to MacBinary, so you need to change the transfer type.
7) Click Send.
8) You're done. Now launch MAE and run your application.
