I was working in vim and tried to sort something. The sort didn't work as I expected.
I thought I would upgrade to version 8.0 in the hopes that would fix it. The upgrade gave me a new problem. in my vimrc there was the line set backupdir=$HOME/vim/backup This no longer works and yields the dreaded "E303: Unable to open swap file" I fixed it this way set backupdir=c:\\Users\\myuser\\Documents\\home\\vim\\backup,c:\\TMP Regards Tom Bodine -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
