IIUC, the region flag is what distinguishes de_de, de_at, de_ch, de_19 and de_20 spelling dictionaries from each other. See also ":help spell-german". As said not very far above that, region codes must always use lowercase in Vim. Building from a recent source is always better. Vim 7.2 was released 9-Aug-2008 and it has got 108 official bugfixes since then. See http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm about how to compile it on Linux. About the differences between 7.2 and 7.1, see: - http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/doc/version7.txt (and find the sections about 7.2) - http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/README (with a one-line summary for each patch from 7.2.001 to 7.2.108). Best regards, Tony. -- Mohandas K. Gandhi often changed his mind publicly. An aide once asked him how he could so freely contradict this week what he had said just last week. The great man replied that it was because this week he knew better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
