However, please understand that the higher price tag on the VC++ compiler, or the Professional label on its box, don't necessarily make it a higher-quality product than the open-source gcc compiler. Tagging a product Professional and upping its price are purely commercial (merchandising, marketing) methods to make the gullible customer _believe_ that the product is of a higher quality. In my experience, when it goes about the computer world, more often than not the product in question is of _lower_ quality than the open-source (almost-)free equivalent. Cases in point: - Microsoft Windows XP Professional (I haven't tested Vista, but from what I hear it could also serve here) vs. openSUSE Linux. Sorry for the off topic. I have nothing against Linux at all.(I'm using it as my standard operating system). But I must admit that Windows and MacOS are far ahead from Linux in the graphics area. The X server is somehow not worthy to compare with the graphic environments of the other two. OpenOffice is usable and has a lot of futures but it just looks bad. Free Software is in the most cases not as good as proprietary, especially when the X server is involved. Exceptions: - Internet Explorer vs. Firefox. - Notepad vs. gvim. - Visual Studio vs. Eclipse - Etc... So stay realistic, you are not aware of if and how much Mingw is better then Microsoft's compiler.

I enjoyed this program greatly. The Win32 build normally does not get patched frequently and the users on that platform cannot take the advantages of the bug fixes as frequently as UNIX user could have. So I normally maintains my own vim build with the latest patches for my personal use. Now I would like to share this with the users. The result from this effort is that I have created the the vimwin project at sourceforge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimwin). The Cream project also provides binaries for windows: http://cream.sourceforge.net/ There are also some other binaries for windows out there. Here is the project will help: * Compile Vim on Win32 with the latest VC++ compiler (VC8.0) * Compile Vim with the latest patches * Add misc enhancement that are not available from the original vim. And the source code for the changes/enhancement are always made open and available. The first release I created has the Vim compiled using VC8.0 with patches up to 224. It has the enhancement that can toggle the vim into/out of full screen mode. The F11 is the magic key. You can try this by downloading the software from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimwin and please provide feedback. I have just installed your version of vim, but I can't figure out how to switch it into full screen mode. I currently have F11 mapped (and I don't wish to change this), so I guess that this is part of the problem, although I have tried removing that line from my _vimrc and I still can't get into full screen mode. If I run gvim -u NONE it works okay. I have tried 'grepping' first the doc/ dir and then the whole vim70 directory, but I can find no relevant mention of full ?screen, so I'm not sure how I can get this to work with my vimrc. Can you tell me the command that F11 is linked to in the default build so that I can test it and/or assign it to another key combination please? I've tried running gvim -u NONE and then typing map F11, but it says no mapping found, implying there is something more cunning going on that I don't understand!

Re: meta offtopic: UTF-8/vim/mutt/mrxvt
Hi, you can look at this manual here: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Charset I think it is your terminal or your locale settings. It didn't work for me with normal xterm so I had to use uxterm. You can try if it works for you too. Secondly, some email clients don't set the charset correctly. Mutt has to guess it, so may be you have to set: set config_charset=utf-8 in your .muttrc But read the wiki and the manual it is explained more detailed there. Some text for testing: Jede Frau möchte lieber schön als klug sein, weil es so viele dumme Männer gibt und so wenig blinde.

I am using mutt to compose and read mail. The editor for this is vim (surprised? :) Mutt/Vim are running on/in/at/on top off/with (or what else the correct preposition is... X-) mrxvt. And all this is running on a Linux 2.6.20.6 Gentoo Linux. Now: When I am receiving mail containing german umlauts, they will be displayed as \number inside mutt. Inside vim these mails are displayed correctly when cited -- most of the times. But in some cases the umlauts also get corrupted. Entering umlauts in vim is also no problem. Entering umlauts on the commandlind (zsh/mrxvt) also displayed them correctly. Filenames containing umlauts are displayed...hrmmm... encrypted but will be correctly expanded (TAB) when using the zsh completion system. These mix of it works and it does not work confuses me. Would vim be able to display german umlauts correctly if the system completly ignores/does not know of UTF-8 ? What is the trick I am missing to display german umlauts correctly with mutt? There are recipes out there in the internet which discribes the _complete_ change from ASCII to UTF-8 for mutt. But these recipes describes more or less the change either on base of a totally UTF-8 aware system (which seems not applicable in my case) or the a complete recompilation of the whole system as a migration from ASCII to UTF-8 ... which seems not to be needed in my case. The basic question is for me: How can vim display german umlauts correctly if the world outside of vim seems not to be completly UTF-8 aware? What do I need to change in the chain ?

Re: How can a script know if we're running without X ?
* A.J.Mechelynck [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070314 07:50]:
How can a Vim script know if we're running without an X connection?
What about if has('gui') ?
Of course, some cases are obvious, such as
if has('unix') !has('x11')
meaning we're on Unix with no X11 support compiled-in.
But what about an X-enabled Vim running in console mode, either with the -X
command-line switch, or in a terminal
with no access to an X server?
For instance, I might want to map the following
:map S-F5 ccC-R+
in my vimrc, to replace the current line with the clipboard. However that
mapping should not be enabled if we have
no access to the clipboard. So I wrap it in
if has(clipboard) (term != linux)
:map S-F5 ccC-R+
:imap S-F5 C-OccC-R+
endif
which takes care of two cases:
- running with no clipboard support compiled-in
- running in the (non-X) linux console (aka /dev/tty)
It doesn't take care, however, of the case when an X-enabled Vim was started
as vim -X in an xterm. Is there a
way to check for that in vimscript?
Best regards,
Tony.
