Thanks, this worked, but I never needed a .vimrc before and
my .viminfo history/recall is only loaded if I explicitly type :rv.
I (and my boss) were fed up with me squirrelling
with it, so I shelled out $79 for a cygwin 1.0 CD at
ccpcomputersupplies.com. They're the only place
I could find with a stable release for sale. Either
I'm paying for being a sorry excuse of a 'puter geek,
or I'm getting a good deal to avoid being a guinea pig.

Try setting "fileformat=dos" in your .vimrc file if you always want
your files to be treated as a DOS text file. See the help in vim for
more info.
