Win32 COMSPEC args don't reconfig on COMSPEC resest

bug in diff Win version of diff

re-edit of previously edited file no longer returns to same location w/vim7

2006-06-18 Thread Linda W
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

announcement on yahoo blocked; perhaps political dissidents shouldn't be on Yahoo?

2006-05-08 Thread Linda W
I note that Yahoo is blocking (traffic overflow given as reason) the VIM announcement. Given Yahoo's track record with human rights, maybe it's time to think about moving the group to another host, like Google? Sorry, I really don't like yahoo's track record in this area, and I can't think
