THANKS! Looks like it is *exactly* what I need :) I thought that Steve only maintained the Cream version, so I didn't even look at it. > Or you could, of course, compile your own version, keeping the sources > up-to-date with Mercurial or TortoiseHg (which is a GUI interface to > Mercurial for use on Windows), then following > http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm -- but considering > Steve's excellent distribution, this is only necessary if you want a > different (probably smaller) featureset than the one he chose to include. I was tempted to build my own version, as I do on Ubuntu, but setting up a building environment in Windows is much more time-consuming than doing the same in Ubuntu (where "time" is almost-zero). It is just not worth the pain, and the precompiled version will work for me, I'm sure. Thanks a lot, Tony, you saved me a ton of time :) -- Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
