README for version 2.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Only the 'Q'
command is missing (you don't need it). Many new features have been added:
multi level undo, command line history, filename completion, block operations,
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. Additionally function keys can be defined
by the user.
Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MSDOS and many UNIX versions. 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
amiga.doc - remarks for Amiga
unix.doc - remarks for unix
msdos.doc - remarks for MSDOS
Vim is Charityware. You can copy it as much as you like. Please read
uganda.txt for details.
The makefile offers some compilation options. If you do not use digraphs, you
can save some memory by recompiling without the DIGRAPHS option. The Amiga
and MS-DOS versions are compiled for a limited number of supported terminals.
If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can recompile with the
TERMCAP option. See the makefiles for further options.
