Re: Editing zipped files with VIM under cygwin


Seems I've been a little hasty when stating everything's ok :-(

Indeed, vim's function executable("name") returns 1 for everything, 
also for not existing programs.

Looking at the sources I've found that:

1. vim (6.0.93) tests the existance of 'name' in os_unix.c 
   inside the function mch_can_exe with:

   sprintf((char *)buf, "which %s", name);
   ...
   retval = (*p != NUL && strstr((char *)p, "not found") == NULL);
   return retval;

2. which (which-1.4) returns, if the command wasn't found:
   fprintf (stderr, "no %s in %s\n", cmd, PATH);

Which one should be changed ?

Bernd
