vimball: vulunerable to empty file

[motz]

Hi,

I have .vba including a empty file attached below.
:VimballList command shows error message attached.
:Mkvimball does not exclude empty file on the other hand.
I think some protection for empty file is needed.

Regards,
Motoya Kurotsu

Interesting -- I suppose nobody's tried making a vimball with an empty
file before. Anyway, I've uploaded v33a onto my website that appears to
avoid any unpleasantness from empty files. It doesn't save them,
though. You should be able to get a copy using
