- README for version 1.24 of VIM: Vi IMitation.
-
- VIM is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Only the 'Q'
- command is missing. Many new features have been added: multi level undo,
- command line history, filename completion, quoting, etc. See difference.doc.
-
- This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII files.
- All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type
- with ten fingers can work very fast. Function keys can be used for macros.
-
- Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MSDOS and UNIX. Porting to other systems
- should not be very difficult.
-
- Documentation:
- tutor/readme - one hour training course for beginners
- reference.doc - complete reference of all VIM commands
- difference.doc - summarizes the differences with UNIX vi
- index - alfabetical list of commands
- unix.doc - remarks for unix
- msdos.doc - remarks for MSdos
-
- Vim is Public Domain. You can copy it as much as you like. If you want to
- distribute a modified version of the source code please contact me first.
-
- Installation on the Amiga:
- - Put "arp.library" in "libs:" (always required).
- - Assign "vim:" to the directory where the vim.hlp file is (for the help
- command).
- - With DOS 1.3 or earlier: make sure that newcli and run are in "c:" (for
- executing external commands).
- - Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk
- 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for
- executing external commands).
-
- If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and
- csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
- "rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez
- version 0.5.
-
- If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without
- the DIGRAPHS option. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can
- recompile with the TERMCAP option. See the makefiles.
