Re: What is the fastest way to detect modifications to any listed buffer?

Thanks, Christian.  I have various versions of Vim running on a lot of machines, so its best if I keep with older methods.

Will keep this in mind going forward, though!

If you have a recent enough Vim version, you can use the getbufinfo()
function and check the changed attribute.
