Hello Vim List,

I'm using Vimball version 20 - the latest.

Looking at a Vimball from Chip, I see 3 header lines
followed by a set, for each included file, of 2 header lines
followed by the contents of the file.

For one such Vimball - line numbers added:

 1 "Vimball Archiver by ...
 2 UseVimball
 3 finish
 4 plugin/file.vim<tab>[[[1
 5 50
 6 The first of the 50 source lines
--
56 doc/file.txt<tab>[[[1
57 30
58 The first of the 30 lines of help
--
87 The last of the 30 lines of help


Building my own vimball, I start gvim and type 2 lines:

plugin/file.vim
doc/file.txt

and type:  :%MkVimball file

My "vimball" looks like this:

 1 plugin/file.vim<tab>[[[1
 2 51
 3 finish
 4 The first of the 50 source lines
--
54 doc/file.txt<tab>[[[1
55 30
56 The first of the 30 lines of help
--
85 The last of the 30 lines of help

Notice that there is no starting header and a line
containing "finish" has become the first line of the first
file.

Since I understand the format I can manually create the
vimball from the broken one generated by MkVimball.  Can
anyone actually create one with MkVimball?

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Bill
