Good idea! I've got exactly the same configuration. ;-)

I am using VIM version 4.6 every day (in a quite intensive way) and I
haven't
ever noticed the slightest problem.

maybe VIM! ;-) It is a charityware, that is to say you can use and copy
it as 
much as you like, but you are encouraged to make a donation to orphans
in Uganda. In fact I was using it before discovering "DJGPP world", and
I keep
on. But I don't really know the difference between VIM and other VI
flavors.
What's so cool about Elvis?

Philippe.
