Submit. Be famous. Ok, I've read through the code and, have experimented with 'diff --check' fairly extensively, now understand it, have documented what I understand, and am now building the doc to ensure it is properly formatted. I presume that I send the patch text to the list with the subject line that starts with [PATCH], some sensible topic (e.g., "document --check option to diff"), and then a short body of explanation and then, following my signature, the patch itself. Assuming that is correct, I should have a patch out before the end of the day. Bill
