- This file contains the particularities for the Archimedes version of Vim.
-
- ============================================================================
- The Archimedes version has not been tested. It probably doesn't work at the
- moment, because only patches for Vim version 2.0 were available.
- ============================================================================
-
- vim.hlp needs to be saved as Lib:vimhlp (you should set Lib$Path to be a
- path to the directory you want to save this. Your system vimrc file should
- be named vimrc in this directory too.)
-
- Another path to set is Tmp$Path This should be the directory you want vim to
- use when it does pipes.
-
- UnixLib's translations means that local .vimrc files should really be named
- /vimrc. Of course vim does these translations, so vim .vimrc will create the
- file /vimrc.
-
- You need a termcap file - I haven't built this in. To install the termcap
- file, you need to assign a variable, UnixLib$/etc to your "/etc" directory
- and copy the file "arctermcap" as "/etc/termcap" You also need your TERM
- variable to be set to acorn0 before you use vim. Note also that I've set the
- "cl" command, clear screen to clear to green screen. You can change this if
- you want.
-
- Errorfile handling may not work properly. This is not vim's fault, but
- UnixLib's system() and exec() handling. It may be OK for Acorn's cc, but gcc
- uses exec() and loses redirections, so gcc -c fred.c 2> errorfile doesn't
- generate a valid errorfile. Problem is that this is a biggy within UnixLib
- to fix, I think.
-
- When you call a shell up with :sh and ^Z, you'll get a GOS shell by default.
- This means that running another application will exit GOS and throw you back
- into vim. I'm working on a bash-like shell for the Arc which will get round
- this.
-
- If I've missed anything, please drop me a line and I'll try to fix it.
