[U-Boot-Users] Multi-Image File Creation

[tguilliams at synergymicro.com]

I knew I asked a similar question some time ago and used that info you gave
me since.

I didn't word my questions correctly below and sorry for wasting your time.
I have since written an app to return the image sizes to suit my needs.
I needed something was a little easier to do than parsing the output of 
the "mkimage -l" app.

I was not aware they added a search bar to the SourceForge sight.  At the
time I wrote the previous email you're referring to, there was not such
a thing.  My apolgies again.
