- 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.
