Hi Karl,

Thanks - knowing that max upload size is definitely a help.

As a bit of a follow-up, is there a max size for our individual schemas? 
  If so, how do I check my schema size relative to capacity?  I can try 
to break my files down into smaller pieces to fit within upload 
constraints, but they'll then be merged back together on Papio.

Thanks,
Catherine
