memline.c was changed for 7.0 as far as how Vim determined where to store the swapfile when editing symlinks. The change was to follow the symlink, find the directory the actual file was in and key off that when creating the swapfile so that editing the symlink and the actual file at the same time would cause the 'swapfile already exists' message. Maybe this is related. The relevant code is sectioned off by '#ifdef HAVE_READLINK'/'#endif' sections in memline.c James -- GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
