Re: [Vim-latex-devel] function to switch settings

[Andreas G. <and...@tu...>]

Dear Francesco,

Thanks for the hint. Following your instructions I set the pdf/biber 
options in my .vimrc and placed the alternative options in the 
corresponding *.latexmain file. I first run for the ps/bibtex project 
ended up with a dvi only. After deleting all latex-related files another 
run correctly produced the ps. So your solutions seems to work. Thanks a 
lot.
Nevertheless, if somebody has an idea why the call of the appropriate 
function is not working as expected please let me know.

Best regards.

Andreas
