Ebcdic should indeed only be enabled by configure, if it finds out that you are on an ebcdic machine. There are indeed some features which AFAIK can only be enabled or disabled by editing feature.h. That's how I'm running with +xterm_save but -tag_old_static. If you (Robert) really want +tag_any_white you can uncomment a line somewhere after line 350 of feature.h, but as Christian implied, the tags files generated by Vim's :helptags command, or (IIUC) by the Exuberant Ctags program, don't need that feature. Beware that if you do this you will have what Mercurial calls two unnamed parallel changeset chains (unnamed branches?) within the default branch, which you will have to merge (e.g. by using hg fetch instead of hg pull -u) every time you get new patches from Bram's repository. I'm not sure how it works if you use a git clone. Best regads, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
