Hi,
I installed the cygwin bash shell along with the VIM editor on windows.
Now the problem is that it opens up the files in UNIX mode and not in
DOS mode. And it saves that way too. I have tried reinstalling the whole
thing including the vim editor and specifying DOS as the default file
type but to no avail. What am I missing?
Initially I had specified UNIX as the default type but since then I have
done a lot of I installations trying to get DOS as the default.
Please help.
Sorry, I don't have the problem here, even with binary mount points.
Setting fileformat=dos allows me to read and write files in DOS mode
whenever I want with vim. Perhaps you need to do a little more debugging
on your end.
Or just create an (empty) file .vimrc in your home directory. (This forces
vi-compatible mode to be turned off.)
When Corinna gets back from vacation (who told her she could get a vacation
- didn't she have one last year? ;-) ), I'm sure she'll soon upgrade the
vim package to 6.1, which will solve this problem once and for all. (It
will detect UNIX and DOS files even in vi-compatible mode.)
