I finally got Visual Studio Express set up on my machine, and compared an executable built from that with one built from MinGW. Neither one supports -f! Steve, how did you manage to make your Cream builds support -f? I don't need cygwin installed to run Vim, does it depend on some sort of cygwin feature anyway? This would be nice to always have supported! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
