Re: Vim executable for Windows updated

I've been using gvim for windows 10 installed from gvim_8.1.0451_x86.exe
since that came out.  That was the first version that fixed the bug in
vim (non-gui mode) in which <F11> and <F12> were not recognized.

That has worked fine for me.

At Bram's request, I installed gvim_8.1.2410_x64.exe and _x86.exe.  Both
versions of vim (non-gui) are not compatible with Take Command console
program by JPSoft.com.  I have been using some version of take command
for 25+ years.

There is an incompatibility w/ take command and the latest windows
version of non-gui vim.

The display is unstable, jumping more often than 2 per second (I
think).  The prompt line appears midway in the screen.  I am able to
blindly issue :q and it quits.

I reverted to the version that works for me, ie, 8.1.0451_x86.


Thought you'd want to know.

FWIW, I also reported this to Rexx Conn of JPSoft.com, who is the
principal programmer and owner (I think).
