gVim on Windows
Have you used gVim editor on Windows (xp)? I am talking about the GUI version of vim that you can click the icon on desktop and the gVim editor pops-up and you can create/edit files.
Here's my problem: When I use vim editor on cygwin to create/edit files the file creation mask is set to a specific value (in my case 077), so when I create/edit files, this file creation mask forces the file to be created within that mask.
However, when I open the gVim (by clicking the icon) and edit or create files it always overwrites the file permissions if the file already exists or when I create a new file, it sets the file permissions to some values that I don't like.
I am sure there is a way to tell gVim to comply to some specific file creation mask instead of a default. I made research online and tried to modify the .vimrc or _vimrc file but without success..
Does anyone know how to solve that problem..?
Thanks in advance..

I have a linux Enterprise Server Version 3 (ES) . It does not have Gvim on it. Can someone tell me how I can get Gvim on it please. I have spent a fair bit of time researching this and have not figured it out. I am probably missing something simple.
