Thanks for the comments, I have corrected these as you suggested,
please let me know if I missed anything.

I agree that characters or lines definitely would be more helpful and
have thought about how to implement that, however I will probably hold
off until after I have my application submitted :) Although counting
bytes does come in handy for the hex view. Maybe offset/length would
be more handy for hex viewing though.

Ah... that was what I was looking for, thanks.

I think at some point I might implement a TFTP client for HelenOS. The
coding should be trivial and it seems like it would work pretty well
in the HelenOS environment.

Anyway, the revised patch is attached, let me know what you think. Thanks,
