[Possible BUG] VIM and execution of external commands which accept filename as parameter

Mon Mar 4 02:31:00 GMT 2002

Hey, there! :)
I have noticed the following behaviour of VIM and thought it is worth
reporting it to the list. Trying to execute an external command from
vim and passing it a file name parameter from my home directory using
the tilde character fails:
sha1sum: ~/gdbtk.ini: No such file or directory
shell returned 1
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
The output above is generated from the following vim command:
":!sha1sum.exe ~/gdbtk.ini". The same command on linux yields the
right result.
Actually I'll investigate/debug this further this night (maybe) but if
someone knows more on this issue, feel free to speak :)
