Thank you!!! I have queued these (aside from 10/13, which is being replaced by a patch from Julian Anastasov) for further testing and review. And with the usual wordsmithing. If testing goes well, I might try to get 1/13 into the next merge window, which would simplify things if maintainers want to take their patches separately. Thanx, Paul
