You could also download it manually using bunzip, etc. This way, it is available from macvim.org.

First let me say this is a handy set of tips on your site.

There is a quicker way to do this as well just by tweaking your find command a bit.

The exec statement works the same as xargs. You can also narrow down the search results from find using type, name and maxdepth options.

Cheers

PS. In the reply I sent, the ’ is rendered as an apostrophe. I don’t know how to submit a screenshop of this error to the reply box. Sorry. On my screen - in the right sidebar - the word “Isn’t” looks like Isn’t
