Oh my, the disgusting ads that aren't downloads aren't even placed by google, but by disqus, so I'll need a better solution still…

Re: KIN::pumpkin

You're right, at some point I have checked the ads and bocked those disguised as download buttons, that google helpfully placed for me. I've checked the ads now and those that aren't download buttons are not up to my standards either, until I find the solution I take down the ads, thank you for your feedback.

Sorry, I have no idea latest versions of what you're referring to, but I haven't used it for over 10 years, so I have no idea…

Thanks for sharing. I think in '92 I've had 40MB IDE at most. Possibly, still 20MB, hopefully past 5MB Seagate MFM, which was pretty standard back then. ;-)

Also, as far as I can tell pumpkin has no message that the file is too big for a 512 block size, the closest it has is "File is too big, try increasing block size", so it sounds like the message from the other end?

Re: KIN::pumpkin

Michael Krelin — Tue, 03 May 2022 05:35:36 -0000

I have never heard of pumpkin not working with non-standard block size, the only reason it may and should fall back to 512 is if the other end does not support it? What exactly you're trying to do and what's sitting on the other end?

Thank you. I write this app back in 1997, when there was no other free tftp for windows and I had troubles downloading the shareware one as it was whopping 4 MB and I had dialup line of questionable quality… 11 years ago is probably the time of last update. I don't think I could even imagine 8-core 64 bit processors back when I wrote pumpkin. I have no idea what kind of computer I had back then. I hope I was past 286 by that time :)

Sorry about the download button, I should work on that… The download page is here: https://kin.klever.net/bigb... just make sure you don't click on any ads saying "download now".

As for the task you have at hand, Maybe bigbrother can be used for this purpose (if it runs on modern systems), but I'm relatively sure there should be better free tools nowadays (big brother was written about 25 years ago…). Not that I have any suggestions, though.

Unlikely. Especially, given I have no idea what you need help with.

Thank you.

"Professionals" in "professional-looking" suits are overrated. And boring too.

Re: KIN::pumpkin

Michael Krelin — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 16:37:57 -0000

Sorry, no, I don't think install has any switches. Since the code is open you can probably implement them…

Hey, thanks for the heads up, I think I fixed redirect problem, but I'm not sure I understand your klog question, I think http://kin.klever.net/klog/... links work there?

Re: KIN::pumpkin

Michael Krelin — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 13:22:44 -0000

Sorry it didn't work for you. I think you can then manually remove directory with executable and menu items.

Umm… yes, it's been a while since the last time I didn't have one, why?

Re: KIN::pumpkin

Michael Krelin — Thu, 02 Jan 2020 16:33:56 -0000

Thanks, Justin, that's a tough question. As far as I remember (I don't have a windows computer around), the ACL lets you enter network/netmask, so it should be 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 for 192.168.x.x. Alternatively, you can probably achieve the same by setting listen address to 192.168.your.ip. That is assuming your computer is directly connected to the internet (which is not very common scenario for windows computer), because if it's not, you don't need any of these.

Hey, thanks, I'm surprised myself by its longevity, but I'm glad to be still of help to people.

Aaah, okay, glad it worked! And happy calendar flip while we're at it ;-)

Hey, Eric, I'd check preferences to see if it's set to deny all requests or something. And whether the user that runs pumpkin can access the file in question, directory and parent directories.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Hey, as far as I remember, there's no command line option for it, but you can find PumpKIN's settings in the registry, so perhaps you can export relevant entries and import on the target computer?

Yeah, doesn't look like gatekeeper to me if it has actually managed to bind to the port… Even if there's a bug I can hardly imagine random bug to end up with the exact errno corresponding to the address being already in use… What if you also do `ps ax | grep -i pumpkin` to see if maybe you somehow got two pumpkins running? (which still seems to indicate a bug on my part).

Michael Krelin — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 16:06:42 -0000

I looked at it briefly and it does work for me on 10.13.something, but I suspect there may be a problem with signing that setuid helper tool (it wasn't signed). Problem is, I don't have a developer id certificate now and don't feel like enrolling for dev program right now as I'm not likely to go for a lot of releases now. So I tried signing it with development certificate — https://www.dropbox.com/s/4... — if that is problematic (I have no idea if it is), maybe not signing at all is a better option, let me know. You can also try turning gatekeeper off to see if it helps (I'm not suggesting that you keep it off after trying it once). At any rate, when it refuses to run, does it provide any diagnostics?

Re: PumpKIN goes OSX

Michael Krelin — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 14:13:41 -0000

I will check out, but it does sound scary, it needed setuid helper to open port 69, if this somehow doesn't work on newer OS X that may be a problem… But anyway, I'll try to look into it.
