Only the "Q" +command is missing. Many new features have been added: multi level undo, +command line history, filename completion, block operations, etc. There is +also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. See doc/vim_diff.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, MS-DOS, Windows NT, Windows 95, Atari +MiNT, OS/2 and almost all flavours of UNIX. There are some things included +for the Archimedes, but it does not work yet. There are people working on a +VMS and a Mac port. Porting to other systems should not be very difficult. + +Documentation: +The best is to use ":help" in Vim. If you don't have an executable (yet), +read doc/vim_help.txt. It contains pointers to the other documentation files. + +"tutor/readme" is a one hour training course for beginners. + +Copying: +Vim is Charityware. You can copy it as much as you like, but you are +encouraged to make a donation to orphans in Uganda. Please read the file +"doc/vim_kcc.txt" for details. You are allowed to include Vim on a CD-ROM if +you send me one. + +Compiling: +All stuff for compiling Vim is in the "src" directory. See src/INSTALL for +instructions. + + +The latest news about Vim can be found in the Vim home page: + + +If you have problems, have a look at the Vim FAQ: + + +Please send bug reports to: + Bram Moolenaar + +There are three mailing lists for Vim: + + vim@prz.tu-berlin.de about using Vim + vimdev@prz.tu-berlin.de about developing Vim + vimannounce@prz.tu-berlin.de announcements + +If you want to join send a message to + +and put "info" in the body. Then Majordomo will give you a little help. +You must join before you are allowed to send messages to the lists (otherwise +Majordomo will eat your messages). + +Send any other comments, patches, pizza and suggestions to: + + Bram Moolenaar E-mail: mool@oce.nl + Clematisstraat 30 + 5925 BE Venlo Fax: +31 77 3595473 + The Netherlands Tel: +31 77 3872340
