...but the backslash issues have not been fixed. Steve, the version
installed on my machine (I always choose to overwrite the _vimrc)
looks like this on line 20:
if &sh =~ '\<cmd'
let cmd = '\"' . $VIMRUNTIME . '\diff\"'
let eq = '\"\"'
If I get rid of the extra backslashes so it matches the version you
posted, it works fine. If the backslashes are left in, it breaks as
the OP describes.
