I was following Chip Campbell's advice in the vim list to download
v100 of the netrw plugin when I discovered the following
undesirable behavior of the gzip.vim plugin. I downloaded
netrw.vba.gz, then opened it with
view netrw.vba.gz
and saw the following messages at the bottom of the screen:
"netrw.vba.gz" [readonly][noeol] 260L, 67511C
"~/.vim/netrw.vba" [readonly] 7156L, 274745C
Source this file to extract it! (:so %)
Press ENTER or type command to continue
I took a brief look at the file, then closed vim with
:q
When I did an 'ls' of the directory, I discovered that netrw.vba.gz
had been replaced by netrw.vba! I didn't want to unzip the file,
only look at it. I believe this is an error in the behavior of the
gzip.vim script.
