Use if 1 | endif  to wrap everything is possible, but not always, since

You can try
--- ~/.vimrc --
if 1  skipped on tiny vim
   source ~/.vimrc-full  skipped on tiny
   finish  skipped on tiny
endif
source ~/.vimrc-tiny
---
or
- ~/.vimrc -
source ~/.vimrc-tiny
if 1 skipped on tiny
   source ~/.vimrc-full skipped on tiny
endif skipped on tiny

Hi,

For some reason my .vimrc must works for multiple versions of Vim.

Now, I found that in Vim 6.1 Tiny version (shipped with Redhat 9), the
following does not work:

command! -nargs=+ TestCmd echo args
TestCmd my test

The vim saids: Not an editor command: TestCmd my test

It seems that the command define are not available for the Vim 6.1 Tiny
version, but when I :help command, it doesn't show any +xxx feature reqired
for define command.

It would be Okay to disable it in the Tiny version, but I just do not know
how. since it does not reqire +x feature, I cannot use if has() endif
to wrap it.

Any work around?

Under :help +feature-list (with the plus sign) we see that there is a 
+user_commands feature which require Normal version (or bigger).


Also, remember that it's hard to effectively test for Tiny version, 
since they cannot do expression evaluation, and everything from :if to 
:endif will be disregarded (on both sides of the else). The only 
possibility I see is something like this (untested):



- 8  killtiny.vim
if 1
 we got expression evaluation: OK
finish
endif
set more cmdheight=1
echoerr Tiny version -- abort
echoerr !!!
echoerr !!!
echoerr !!!
qall!
- 8 -

Invoke it with

source killtiny.vim

in order to abort Vim (with an error message) if a Tiny version is being 
used.


Or if you just want to disable soe statements in a Tiny version, wrap 
them between :if 1 and :endif. (For a function: the definition _and_ 
every invocation will probably need to be wrapped that way.)



Best regards,
Tony.
