VAM (https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager) is known to work under windows. You do need to install some tools (definitely wget or curl and 7zip, optionally, but recommended, git and mercurial; they are all listed in help). Does not Vundle also work there? > Cheers, > > Phil... > > -- > currently (ab)using > Arch Linux, CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Spherical > & That Damn Cat, OS X Snow Leopard & Tiger, Scientific Linux 6.4, Ubuntu > Quantal & Raring > GnuGPG Key : http://phildobbin.org/publickey.asc > > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
