Thank you. I'm glad to hear it.

It seems that the gtags.vim which you are using is version-0.2.
A new version 0.3 was released the other day as a part of GLOBAL-5.7.
In this version, starting method of programs was changed.
Could you please try it if you have time?

In the latest version, the format option was changed from -t to -x so that
you can see line images in the list. Could you please try it too?

Currently we don't use the caddexpr command, because we need to count number of 
records
from global(1). If there is an good idea, please tell me.

Thank you for your suggestions!
