I've made some suggested changes to the GDB Internals manual, but since the change includes an image, the diff file is nearly 300k, when gzipped and uuencoded. I tried posting it yesterday, but since it hasn't appeared, I presume there is a size limit. It's not a particularly large image, but Texinfo requires lots of flavours (EPS, PDF, PNG, TXT as well as the SVG source it all came from), so the file gets big. Second question. When I create the diff file from the patch, is that expected to be relative to the main source tree, or just the directory containing the changes (in this case the gdb/doc directory). Advice appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy -- Tel: +44 (1202) 416955 Cell: +44 (7970) 676050 SkypeID: jeremybennett Email: jeremy.bennett@embecosm.com Web: www.embecosm.com
