Debian 2.3 (woody) vim 6.0.011-3 vim-rt none available for vim 6.0 When in vim ':help' gives the following errors:
Error detected while processing function GZIP_read: line 3: E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off E434: Can't find tag pattern I have commented out the first 10 lines of .vimrc and the error does not change ( whats the 'line 3:' error ?). Moving my .vimrc to 1-.vimrc and restarting vim fixes the problem ie. :help or F1 works. This is the first time I have ever had to change the config file on an upgrade AFAIR. copying /etc/vim/vimrc to .vimrc also fixes the problem. checked /usr/share/doc/vim/changelog.gz and did not find anything that says the .vimrc file from vim 5.x should be changed. Have I just missed something or are there others that have seen this as well? wayne -- Computer programmers do it byte by byte _______________________________________________________
