- 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!
