| 2 | |
| 3 | This file explains the installation of Vim on VMS systems. |
| 4 | See "README.txt" in the runtime archive for information about Vim. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Most information can be found in the on-line documentation. Use ":help vms" |
| 8 | inside Vim. Or get the runtime files and read runtime/doc/os_vms.txt to find |
| 9 | out how to install and configure Vim with runtime files etc. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | To compile Vim yourself you need three archives: |
| 12 | vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz runtime files |
| 13 | vim-X.X-src.tar.gz source files |
| 14 | vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz extra source files |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Compilation is recommended, in order to make sure that the correct |
| 17 | libraries are used for your specific system. However, you might not be |
| 18 | able to compile Vim, read more from src/INSTALLvms.txt. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | To use the binary version, you need one of these archives: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | vim-XX-exe-alpha-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables |
| 23 | vim-XX-exe-alpha-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables |
| 24 | vim-XX-exe-alpha-term.zip Alpha console executables |
| 25 | vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables |
| 26 | vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables |
| 27 | |
| 28 | and of course |
| 29 | vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe, mms_vim.exe files, |
| 32 | but there are also prepared "deploy ready" archives: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | vim-XX-alpha.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and |
| 35 | help files for Alpha systems |
| 36 | vim-XX-vax.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and |
| 37 | help files for VAX systems |
| 38 | |
| 39 | These executables and up to date patches for OpenVMS system are downloadable |
| 40 | from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ or ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/ |
