Alpha version of vim 3.00 on RISC OS.
This has only been partially tested as I'm still working on it.
Please report bugs to auj@aber.ac.uk
This distribution assumes that you already have a working vim version 2
(or earlier) on your Arc, and so all your variables are correctly set up.
Vim 3 uses file.swp rather than file.vim as a swapfile. It can edit files
which are larger than the physical memory available.
To use this you should add :swp: to the UnixFS$sfix variable.
In addition you need a line like
set directory=>/tmp/
in your system vimrc and a variable like
set UnixFS$/tmp HD1:$.tmp
or similar.
The ">/tmp/" is needed for reasons which are obscure to me at the moment,
suffice to say that if you don't set this you'll end with a directory called
swp in the current dir. I still need to look at this and find out just what
it's doing.
OK, that's all I can think of. Note again that this is a very pre-release
version and you should fully expect it to crash every now & then. The way
to fix this is to tell me what went wrong and to bug me into fixing it!
