following up on my Unix-originated habit, I'm using Vim as my
favourite text editor for anything that resembles plain text in
Windows. The Windows context menu item "edit with Vim" is very useful
indeed :-)
And that's where I have a problem with .REG files.
If the file is encoded as plain ASCII, that's no problem.
The problem is that Regedit in XP exports Unicode (or what), maybe
utf-16 (or some other multibyte charset). If I try "edit with Vim" on
such files, I get a screenful of garbage.
I'm using the basic Windows build of Vim (gvim.exe) that gets
installed by the "allaround Windows installer" of VIM 7.2, available
at www.vim.org.
Is there an easy way out? A few dark curses in the command line?
":help multibyte" was not much help... I don't even know what
encoding i should try.
Or is the default Windows build missing some important compile-time
features? Some parts of "multibyte" support?
:version only mentions +multi_byte_ime/dyn , not +multi_byte.
Any ideas are welcome :-)
