Re: Keep consistent vim environments across different platforms

Yes, you are right, modern Windows systems does support symbolic links. Unfortunately I have a WinXP to keep in sync. It is NTFS so I installed junction (SysInternals) with provides me symbolic links.

Best regards.

Why do you say that? NTFS supports symbolic links, and modern Windows systems provide the "mklink" command:

C:\Users\btfritz>mklink /?
Creates a symbolic link.

MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target

        /D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
                symbolic link.
        /H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
        /J      Creates a Directory Junction.
        Link    specifies the new symbolic link name.
        Target  specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
                refers to.
