Originally "vim-noweb", and also when I ran into the problem I tried making the ID the same as the filename "vim-noweb.tar.gz" and "vim-noweb.tgz".

I was following "https://www.vim.org/scripts/add_script.php". There I see the example, "if I was writing a script foo.vim that also had vim help file and a README file I would name the script foo.vim but my script package would be foo.tar.gz". So of course that is the example I followed.

Great question. I had not heard of vimball. I will try it and see if that gets around the error.

Is vimball the most portable format? Should the example be updated on vim.org?

Cheers! Edward
