The workarounds are not complicated, however it must be remembered
that closing a file to edit sets 'eol' on on it, unless it has either
'binary' or (in recent Vim versions) 'nofixeol'. So, even in old Vim
builds:
- To do it once, use
:setlocal bin noeol
just before saving.
- Or you may set these same options by means of a modeline (q.v.) to
make sure that the last line remains incomplete and that if ever you
concatenate an other file to that one, the first line of the second
file will be tacked onto the last line of the first one. :-P
Best regards,
Tony.
