Not at all in my mind, this is a bug! I'm not sure what changed in 7.0, but this was always possible in 6.x. Was there actually a conversion happening automatically and Vim now refuses to hide it? To me, if &printencoding is not a valid option for :hardcopy, automatic conversion with a warning is better than just aborting on an error. (Which raises the question, what ARE the valid options for &printencoding?) -- Steve Hall [ digitect mindspring com ]
