A .ini file is edited in [inimode]. It's also edited with DOS line endings, i.e. [inimode crlf].
Normally when a file is in "crlf" mode, you can do "set nodos" before writing it out to eliminate the DOS line endings. But if the file is also in inimode, that doesn't work. So I have a .ini file, on linux, which keeps getting CRNL line endings every time I edit and write it. Frustrating, since the program that reads it warns about this when it starts. Is there a way to prevent the INI filter (if that's what's doing it) from changing the file's line endings? Barring that, how do I disable an editing mode -- how can I tell vile that a .ini file isn't special at all. paul =---------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 47.7 degrees)
