Hi,

I just packed together a graphics/inventor port and was going to
send-pr(1) it. Following <porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html> a
shar(1) generated file is in place for that.

But:

% shar `find inventor`
zsh: argument list too long: shar

The port got quite large, though:

% du -sk inventor 
34376   inventor

How else can I submit the port?

        Roland

P.S. I am currently not subscribed to -ports and would therefore
     appreciate a Cc on followups.
