Hi Linda, Found the latest version of vim at http://tuxproject.de/projects/vim/. And, only those who have run something like ":%perldo s/dumbness/smartness/gi" in vim will truly understand the beautiful power that vim+perl gives you. If people think that Perl is not trendy, please forgive them, for they know not what they speak. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
