Re: Binary version of Vim that support all features

Steve Hall regularly compiles (console) Vim and (GUI) gvim for Windows
with most features compiled-in, and makes them available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/ These are
"unofficial" binaries built from the "official" sources, but out of
Bram's control, hence the "unofficial" qualifier. Next to the binary
installer program, a text file containing the output of ":version" for
the GUI is available online for each build, so you can check before
installing it if it really includes the features you want.

I see that at the moment, the latest versions there will only run on
64-bit Windows; they are at patchlevel 8.0.329 (which is "reasonably
recent" compared to Bram's latest "bleeding-edge" sources, 8.0.398).
Steve Hall's previous build, at 8.0.143, will IIUC run on 32-bit
windows and also, with the help od Windows's WOW64 component, on
64-bit Windows.

Note that unlike on Unix-like OSes, on Windows it is not possible to
use a single executable as both a GUI and a console-bound program: if
you want both you must install both.

Best regards,
Tony.
