Hello Chip, I followed your procedure, but unfortunately, the behaviour of netrw surprised me.
The installation went fine, no error messages. I tried the following command: :Explore **//STRING to find all the file containing the string STRING. The command just hanged there, not doing anything, like freezing my gvim. I have to type <CTRL>-C to stop. Before the update, it was giving me the list of the files of the current directory and I could navigate through the results using <SHIFT><UP> or <DOWN>. When I tried: :Explore */STRING it gave me a lot of error messages that disappeared too fast for me to read it. Is there a way to get that output to be able to debug it with your help? I'm running Vim 7.0 (compiled May 7 2006) on Windows XP (I didn't try it on my Linux box at home). Gregory On 11/3/06, Charles E Campbell Jr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You'll also need to remove all previous versions of vimball. You can get the latest vimball from my website, too (see "Vimball Archiver"). Install it first: cd /usr/local/vim/share/vim/vim70 mv [wherever]/vimball.tar.gz . gunzip vimball.tar tar xvf vimball.tar Then you may install netrw: vim netrw.vba.gz :so % :q should do it.
