That is different enough for Vim not to be able to read the .swp file. For performance reasons Vim stores "int" and "long" values directly in the .swp file. Thus byte order and sizeof() matters. You might be able to compile a 32 bit Vim on the 64 bit machine and read the .swp files on both machines. -- >From "know your smileys": ;-0 Can't find shift key ,-9 Kann Umschalttaste nicht finden /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
