We seem to encounter folks with vims that are out of date by at least 6 years (v7.3 - I had a bug report recently from a vim v7.3 user, for example). It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that there are 7.1 and 7.2 users out there (7.1 dates from 2007). Regards, Chip Campbell P.S. As a tech thing, its likely that quantum computers will break all the crypto in a decade or two. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
