Can an OLE-enabled gvim be run without registering? (Was: Re: Search in VI (VIM) for a string, then delete to end of line.)

I'm no expert on OLE, but from this excerpt from ":help
-unregister", it appears the answer is no.

If you want to have (several) Vim sessions open that should not
react to OLE commands, use the non-OLE version, and put it in a
different directory. The OLE version should then be put in a
directory that is not in your normal path, so that typing "gvim"
will start the non-OLE version.

Also, if you wish to ask a new question, please start a new thread
rather than replying to an existing one, and give it a meaningful
subject.

Regards,
Gary
