Greetings,

Can anyone assist me with getting vimdiff to work on a PC with
Microsoft Windows XP? I have GVIM version 6.2.

When trying to vimdiff 2 files I get:   E 97: Cannot create diffs.

I have looked through :help, found *E97*, and am not sure how to
proceed, but have tried to check the "shell" via:

:!sort

Typing this on the command line of a file causes a new MS-Dos
command window (titled vimrun.exe) to open with the following message:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe   /c   sort

which is presumably not what is supposed to happen. (Note that I
can get sorting on the current open file by means of  :%!sort  as shown
on my vi reference mug. :-) )

If the problem is that "diff" cannot be executed (it isn't recognized at an
MS Dos command prompt), can anyone assist me with getting it operational?

Thanks much for any assistance.

Rich
