RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-6.0.11-1


Try using _vimrc instead of .vimrc.  I seem to recall reading
somewhere that this would work around the behavior you describe
on Win9x systems.  WinNT/2000 of course does not exhibit that
problem, at least not on NTFS.  I'm not sure about FAT32.

This may be a known vi side effect when used in DOS filespace:

Under W98, editing .vimrc using the file name VIMRC~1, vi takes the DOS file
name and saves the file under the same name, not the long name extension.
Thus for example, when .vimrc is saved, it is saved using the long file name
vimrc~1.  The consequence is the name of file .vimrc is changed to vimrc~1.
