When I was on Windows, I used to compile with Cygwin (which generates a
native-Windows not-for-cygwin executable by means of the Cygwin version
of MinGW gcc): see
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm -- however,
you could use Steve Hall's precompiled "Vim without Cream" installer as
the "Vim" package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/ (By
clicking "View all files" you have access to the "Release notes" which
are actually the ":version" output from the build in question). I see
that the latest distro there at the moment is at patchlevel 7.2.303
which is only 6 patches behind Bram's "latest"; and it supports Python
2.6 if the file "python26.dll" can be found in the $PATH at run-time.

Sometimes run-time errors can be erased so fast that you don't have time
to see them (try the ":messages" command to recall them).

Does it make a difference if you use ":browse w x.bat" (not starting
with a letter) or ":browse w x.txt" (with a non-executable extension)
instead of 1.bat ? I suppose not...

Oh, one thing I forgot to ask: your Vim build _is_ compiled with +browse
isn't it? If it isn't, the ":browse" prefix will be accepted as a no-op.


Best regards,
Tony.

Review Questions

(1) If Nerd on the planet Nutley starts out in his spaceship at 20 KPH,
and his speed doubles every 3.2 seconds, how long will it be before
he exceeds the speed of light? How long will it be before the
Galactic Patrol picks up the pieces of his spaceship?

(2) If Roger Rowdy wrecks his car every week, and each week he breaks
twice as many bones as before, how long will it be before he breaks
every bone in his body? How long will it be before they cut off
his insurance? Where does he get a new car every week?

(3) If Johnson drinks one beer the first hour (slow start), four beers
the next hour, nine beers the next, etc., and stacks the cans in a
pyramid, how soon will Johnson's pyramid be larger than King
Tut's? When will it fall on him? Will he notice?
