Hello,



I have been experiencing an issue where I=E2=80=99m trying to format column=
s in vim
using: :*%!column =E2=80=93t*, which had been working great.



At some point I had to update Cygwin, and (not correlating it to a possible
update issue, until recently) found that this command has been returning
=E2=80=9Cshell returned 127=E2=80=9D error.



Today, I tested whether this command would work on a server (with a version
of mlos), and found that it worked.



The version of vim on my server is considerably older than my Cygwin
version:



Server: 7.4

Local: 8.2



Is there a way to either back-rev vim further (if an old install repo
existed, that would be ideal), or someone review what was updated to make
vim not happy with the column command?



I also compared both versions of the column command, and they were the same
on both my server *and* my local workstion...thus my conclusion that this
seems to be a vim-related matter.


I was successful in back-reving to 8.1, simply because I had the previous
setup file for Cygwin, but older versions are a bit more difficult to
locate...and I'm doubtful that going back much further wouldn't cause
damage to my current setup.


Thank you,


Eric Connor
