Editing: README_vms.txt
README_vms.txt for version 9.1 of Vim: Vi IMproved. This file explains the installation of Vim on VMS systems. See "README.txt" in the runtime archive for information about Vim. Most information can be found in the on-line documentation. Use ":help vms" inside Vim. Or get the runtime files and read runtime/doc/os_vms.txt to find out how to install and configure Vim with runtime files etc. To compile Vim yourself you need three archives: vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz runtime files vim-X.X-src.tar.gz source files vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz extra source files Compilation is recommended, in order to make sure that the correct libraries are used for your specific system. Read about compiling in src/INSTALLvms.txt. To use the binary version, you need one of these archives: vim-XX-exe-x86-gui.zip X86_64 GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-x86-term.zip X86_64 console executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables and of course vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files, but there are also prepared "deploy ready" archives: vim-XX-x86.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and help files for X86_64 systems vim-XX-ia64.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and help files for IA64 systems vim-XX-axp.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and help files for Alpha systems vim-XX-vax.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and help files for VAX systems GTK builds need LIBGTK library installed.
