The latest vimball (v30h) is now available from my website (http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIMBALL). The decompression is now deferred until the file is sourced (ie. one may now browse the file without decompressing it on your hard disk). Sourcing a file still requires that the file be decompressed first. Regards, Chip Campbell --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
