Tiny builds have the :finish command all right, what they lack is expression-evaluation, which is needed for the :if statement. So, in a tiny build, the whole scope of an :if statement, from :if to :endif, is handled as a nestable comment, see ":help no-eval-feature".
Thanks, Tony. It'd occurred to me that :if must be special-cased in -eval builds, I just hadn't discovered exactly how.
That said, I have found at least two vendor builds which omit :finish entirely, confirmed by attempting to load a .vimrc consisting solely of:
set nocompatible finish quit The builds in question load this as follows: $ vi Error detected while processing /home/rob/.vimrc: line 2: E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: finish $
To make sure your script isn't sourced by tiny builds, just wrap the whole script in ":if 1" ... ":endif".
I'd actually been attempting something more complex -- the !has('eval') case was the simplest I'd tried, but I think I can get away with the ":if 1" method as a baseline test easily enough.
