Sorry, thought I was following the instructions for large patches in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. It is currently one patch of about 22000 lines, around 630k. Most of the patch is new files, I'm figuring one file per email. There are 2 files just under 3000 lines, 4 in the 1000-1700 line range, and some smaller ones. Do I need to break any of those up further? Jim Dykman
