The patch works for me, this probably means it depends on your version of the patch program. I think all the patches I make are in utf-8, as that's the default encoding these days. But older patch programs may have a problem with applying a utf-8 patch to a latin1 file. > Along the line in the comments Ben just made: > Given your answer, that the patches are for the new runtime - I tried first > just fetching the two failing files from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime, > and then 7.3.202 and 203 succeded.

I agree that with the current set of patches it's very difficult to apply them all without errors. If one has to sync the runtime files afterwards anyway, we might as well make sure that patching against 7.3 works without errors. I'm a bit hesitant to change the existing patches on the ftp server, but that seems to be the only way that will fix the problems. I can keep the originally distributed version with some extra extension. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 203.
