Perhaps a stupid question, but I've read through the changelog and the e-mail archive and can find no answer. I'm wondering why "tsize" is a necessity. Seems like the TFTP protocol correctly handles EOF. Does the code need to know in advance how large the file is going to be? If it just happens to have been written this way, would you be open to a change which eliminates the requirement? Thanks, Scott
