eshell.exe where did it go?

Back in the CE 3.0 days there was a nice little gui program for downloading
images via Ethernet to a device. Great for production as they did not have
to load the full PB.
I see it is gone as of 4.0. Why?

Is the source still out there somewhere?

NO, but there have been a regular flow of requests for such a tool so I'd
expect one will appear from somewhere in the future.

You could use a third party software called Pumpkin to down load.
BUt after you downloaded, you need to send afew bytes of command, that, you
can use a packet sniffer to sniff out what platfomr builder sent to the
device.
I wrote a simple UDP progra to send out the exact same bytes to the unit.
It works.

I found that the bootloader will accept a download request only on port 980.
I commented this condition out of the code and now I use TFTP from the
command line to load my image. You have to rename the image file to
"boot.bin" and use that in the call to TFTP. It works quite nicely.
