help to determine script type

[sergio]

Hello.

I'd like to publish my first script on vim.org. It updates bindzone's
serial on BufWrite. It's file type plugin, but not to be placed in
ftplugin folder. What are the types "patch" and "utility" used for?
Which type should I select: utility, patch or ftplugin?

So it's a file type plugin that's not a file type plugin?

Eg you can do `:au Bindzone BufWrite <buffer> :...' from within an ftplugin script.
(with augroup Bindzone)

To just add functionality, you can name the file (eg)
ftplugin/bindzone_serial.vim

To just add a global plugin: "utility".
