Oak Hill Vi (TM) is a full-screen visual editor patterned after the
standard UNIX (AT&T Trademark) "vi" visual editor. Oak Hill Vi will run
on any IBM or compatible personal computer.
This "README" file contains up-to-date information and changes about
VI60A1.XXX (see end of file for recent change information). The extension
".XXX" will usually be ".ZIP", but this may vary if the vendor or BBS
Sysop from whom you obtained the archive uses other archiving methods.
The files that are included in your VI60A1.XXX archive are:

If you already know how to use a vi editor and you don't like to read
manuals, the simplest way to get started is to copy VI_STD.EXE into your
"BIN" directory and begin using it as you would any other vi editor.
Once you've fooled around with it a while, we suggest you read the manual
section on using "EXRC" so that you can set your favorite options
automatically every time you load the program. Note especially some
of the "NON-UNIX" options in Section 2.9 of the manual.
