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).
Please send swap disks, comments, bug reports and suggestions to:

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".
