Re: bug in gtags.vim

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
Though GLOBAL doesn't supports DOS and Windows 32 environment,
we accept code for them if the following requirements are met:
(1) It works in DOS and(or) Windows 32 environment.
(2) It doesn't influence UNIX environment.

There is no problem in your patch. I'll include it in the next release.

Thank you for your report and patch.
