No, vimball is an amalgamation of text files, but it is NOT intended to be edited in situ like a text file. For typical use, it requires separation either manually or by the execution of commands which auto-separate the file into components all over a hard drive. It might as well be a binary executable. > Also, in recent versions, instead of sourcing the vimball > you can give a path argument to the ":UseVimball" command in order > to unpack the vimball any which where you damn well please. A new toolset simply to view a standard package of Vim files?! I've blown HOURS on vimball in times past with no success--not again. Just wanted to quicly re-distribute an updated netrw while I had a moment on a Windows machine. Barrier too high, no passage. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ]
