I was suggesting just the opposite - that we shouldn't *rely* on +python, but that if python were available we wouldn't have to rely on an external unzip. Which may or may not be worthwhile - I guess it depends on which supported platforms don't include an 'unzip' (win 9x? Amiga?) and whether most binaries on those platforms have +python (probably not, so the entire exercise might well be pointless). I was just pointing out a possibility that might be worth considering. :-) > BTW maybe a vba (zip-based or not) could include some sort of manifest > file that includes not only a file list but also dependencies on other > plugins?

Just a thought. Sounds like a reasonable suggestion to me. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
