README for version 3.0 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, Windows NT and many UNIX versions.
There are some things included for the Archimedes, but it does not work yet.
Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.

Vim is Charityware. You can copy it as much as you like. Please read
uganda.txt for details.
Compiling:
cd src
cp makefile.<system> makefile
make
When using makefile.unix you MUST uncomment three lines for your system!
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.
