- README for version 1.14 of VIM: Vi IMitation.
-
- VIM is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Only the commands
- "Q" and "z<cnt>" are missing. Many new features have been added: multi level
- undo, command line history, filename completion, etc. It 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.
-
- Documentation:
- tutor/readme - for beginners
- reference.doc - complete reference of all VIM commands
- difference.doc - summarizes the differences with UNIX vi
-
- This is SwapWare: if you use VIM, you should send me a disk with useful
- programs (no illegal copies of course). I prefer programmers tools, music,
- sound and MIDI programs. Source code please! If I like it, I will send you
- the newest version of VIM in return.
-
- The program vim will work right away, but for some commands to work you
- must do the following:
-
- put :libs/arp.library in libs:
- put :Csh/csh in c: or in any other directory that is in your path
- assign vim: to the directory where the vim.hlp file is
- make sure that newcli and run are in c:
-
- If you have sufficient memory you can speedup a lot by making Vim and csh
- resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
- :libs/rezlib.library in your libs: directory.
-
- Note that this version of VIM only works on the Amiga. If you want to port
- it to another machine, carefully look through the files "amiga.c", "env.h"
- and "term.h" for machine dependent code. There should be no Amiga
- dependencies in other files (no guarantee).

- Note: The source files may have been placed in a zoo file to save disk space.
- Unzoo with the command "zoo x// vim.src.zoo". Be sure to have enough
- disk space.
-
- Ed note: I repacked the zoo file using lha (supplied in the :c directory
- of this disk, saving 100 blocks. Unarchive with "lha -x src.lha".
