I couldn't figure out what flag to use to turn on the "very magic" flag by default. Could someone maybe tell me where I should have looked to find it? :-) Thanks, Linda

bug in diff Win version of "diff"

2006-07-25 Thread Linda W
Seems to be a bug in the "diff.exe" program included in the VIMRUNTIME dir in the Win32-GUI distribution. It compares files with CRLF endings as "identical" with the same text & "LF" endings. Note -- I'm not using any of the "ignore white space", or ignore CR's at the end of the line. I was try

Am running under cygwin, where they've updated to vim7. One of the first problems I'm noticing is that when I edit a file, then exit, then re-edit, I'm no longer placed back at the location I was at when I had previously exited. Is this a bug, or did some value not get properly updated when we w
