1 README.txt for version 7.2 of Vim: Vi IMproved. |
| 0 | 2 |
| 3 | |
| 4 WHAT IS VIM | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features | |
| 7 have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, | |
| 8 on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, etc. | |
| 9 There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. See | |
| 10 "runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt" for differences with Vi. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII files. | |
| 13 All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type | |
| 14 with ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be | |
| 15 defined by the user, and the mouse can be used. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, | |
| 18 Atari MiNT, Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of | |
| 19 UNIX. Porting to other systems should not be very difficult. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 | |
| 22 DISTRIBUTION | |
| 23 | |
| 24 There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems. | |
| 25 This README.txt file comes with the runtime archive. It includes the | |
| 26 documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime. To run | |
| 27 Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive. | |
| 28 Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you | |
| 29 want or must compile it yourself. Check "http://www.vim.org/download.php" for | |
| 30 an overview of currently available distributions. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 DOCUMENTATION | |
| 34 | |
| 35 The best is to use ":help" in Vim. If you don't have an executable yet, read | |
| 36 "runtime/doc/help.txt". It contains pointers to the other documentation | |
| 37 files. The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use | |
| 38 Vim. See ":help user-manual". | |
| 39 | |
| 40 The vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners. Mostly it can be | |
| 41 started as "vimtutor". See ":help tutor" for more information. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 COPYING | |
| 45 | |
| 46 Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are | |
| 47 encouraged to make a donation to orphans in Uganda. Please read the file | |
| 48 "runtime/doc/uganda.txt" for details (do ":help uganda" inside Vim). | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an | |
| 51 unmodified copy of Vim. Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license | |
| 52 text must always be included. For modified versions a few restrictions apply. | |
| 53 The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and | |
| 54 distribute it. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 | |
| 57 SPONSORING | |
| 58 | |
| 59 Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show | |
| 60 your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue | |
| 61 working on Vim please send a donation. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children | |
| 64 in Uganda. See runtime/doc/uganda.txt. But at the same time donations | |
| 65 increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim! | |
| 66 | |
| 67 For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site: | |

| 71 | |
| 72 COMPILING | |
| 73 | |
| 74 If you obtained a binary distribution you don't need to compile Vim. If you | |
| 75 obtained a source distribution, all the stuff for compiling Vim is in the | |
| 76 "src" directory. See src/INSTALL for instructions. | |
