Cap does indeed have an AFP client. It's in the samples subdirectory, called
ash. It's probably a little verbose and interactive for this type of thing, and
it tries to handle the finderinfo and the resource fork (in the CAP style), but
I think it could easily serve as the basis for a command-line version that just
grabbed the data fork and spat it onto stdout.

I don't have heaps of time at the moment, but I could probably turn my hand to
a quick hack along these lines if it were deemed usefull, and I could enlist
someone to compile and link a Mac68k binary for distribution. (I'd be doing the
work on an Ultrix machine.)
