I'd thought that I'd communicated that before. However, Karsten has come up with a good reason for reverting back to -dump. So, netrw v136q now has -dump as its default (mentioning -source in the help).
Its now available at my website (http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html). I have a bug to fix before I release it as v136 to Bram. Regards, Chip Campbell -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
