Thanks Rob, I did get the latest. Interesting thing is the structure of the download changes. Hopefully planned.
A month or 2 ago I downloaded 7.1 and got roughly 5 vols of group1, 3 vol's of group 2, and 2 vols of group3 plus the Multi_NLV stuff.
A week or so ago I did it again. No group 2 or 3. Lots of LCD8_#### stuff. I found what I needed but it was compiled in a very different way.
Still 27 gigs of ptf's.

You know, if you use the most current 'resave' or 'respin' of the
operating system you are upgrading to it will have the latest technology
refresh on it. This saves a bunch of grief when doing an upgrade. You
still should apply a cume and groups.
'Back in the day' I used to hesitate loading a large quantity of PTF's
such as the latest cume and all available groups. Something about
"link/loader full" comes to mind. Nowadays it's the way I do it all the
time. Sure I verify with DSPPTF, WRKPTFGRP, CHKPRDOPT and a few other
things, just in case an extra IPL is needed.

that's part of the resave):
