	It is used to specify the format in which the file will be written.  I 
pretty much always do a ``:set ff=unix'' when I open a file that claims 
to be in DOS format.  A ``:w'' changes it to UNIX format.

	To be somewhat on-topic, I'm running vim 6.2.407, built from the darcs 
tree at davidb.org.  I should do a new build.
