Tony, you convinced me to try again. But I feel vindicated, again I
experienced the same kind of issues I always seem to have.

  :UseVimball ./

produced for me:

  --------------------------
  $ ls -R1 ./*

  ./netrw.vba

  ./autoload:
  netrwFileHandlers.vim?[[[1
  netrwSettings.vim?[[[1
  netrw.vim?[[[1

  ./doc:
  pi_netrw.txt?[[[1

  ./plugin:
  netrwPlugin.vim?[[[1

  ./syntax:
  netrw.vim?[[[1
  --------------------------

These are the filenames, folding brackets and all! This is with netrw
108 JUST downloaded from Dr. Chip's site in the default gVim of the
Fedora Core 6 distribution. It has dumped it all over my $HOME,
despite being located in it's own subdirectory. (At least with Cream,
which follows cwd, it does unpack where the file is.)
[...]

Well, you convinced me to check it:

downloaded into ~/.download/vim/drchip

cd there, mkdir -v vim (for later)

gunzip -vf netrw.vba.gz

then in gvim:

        :new ~/.download/vim/drchip/netrw.vba
        :UseVimball ~/.download/vim/drchip/vim
        " note: with no trailing slash

So what? Maybe your trailing slash was the hitch?


Best regards,
Tony.
