gvim on Cygwin does not run as a native Windows application, it requires an X server to be running. You'll need to install Cygwin-X or some other X server for Windows to use Cygwin's gvim. What I do is use Cygwin's vim and Windows' gvim. Regards, Gary --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
