The get procedure reads the next component from a file into the file's buffer variable. NOTE: This procedure is seldom used since it is usually easier to use the read or readln procedures.
The get procedure's only parameter is a reference to the file variable associated with the file to be read. The file variable must be open before calling this function.
//********************************************************
//This program is similar to the unix shell command "cat".
//It uses the built-in procedures "get" and "put" as well
// as the file buffer's associated with the input and
// output file to copy the contents of the input file to
// the output file.
