Thanks for your help once again AWJ! Thinking about it, I know you mean now about uploading submissions to MAMEdev (I expect it's the same as getting files in your e-mail from someone you've never heard of), not sure why I asked that really as now I mention it I remember users round here (well, on the old MAME.net forum) offering for chds and roms to be uploaded to their webspace or ftp (I could've sworn I remember someone saying about uploading the whole thing to mamedev but probably not). I wanted to make double sure where to put them anyway though as I found the instructions about submitting diff's but not what to do with new rom dumps (unless I missed it!). 
Right, i'll have to get to work and see if I can get it working!
Thanks
