Sorry if this appears twice, I'll remember to send it from the right Email

Eric's code is good stuff eh?

Did you remember to change the row page size to look at the number of 
column address bits rather than the row address bits?

Insure that you have 'diff' installed on your system.

'diff --version'

If not then install it.

Move your tree to a new directory.  Lets call it 'freebios_russell'.
then re-checkout the freebios module from cvs.

Move up to a directory above freebios and freebios_russell

Now do a:

'diff -c -r -b --exclude=CVS ./path/to/freebios 
./path/to/freebios_russell > lb_russell.diff'

Note: my mailer wrapped the above line... It's all one command.

Then send that rusulting lb_russell.dif to Ron.
