Hi all, I sometimes need to change the encoding used for a file. I have the default set to latin1 except for files with an ucs-bom. However, when I load a file encoded in UTF-8 or CP-437 the default is wrong. What I do then is normally to ":set fencs=utf8" and ":vi" to reload the file.
However, what can I do about a file that cannot be reloaded? Eg: $ man llseek | gvim -f - To work around it, I have to do this: $ man llseek > llseek.man $ gvim llseek.man Is there another way?
