*os_390.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2010 May 30
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ralf Schandl
*zOS* *z/OS* *OS390* *os390* *MVS*
This file contains the particulars for the z/OS UNIX version of Vim.
1. ASCII/EBCDIC dependent scripts |zOS-has-ebcdic|
2. Putty and Colors |zOS-PuTTY|
3. Motif Problems |zOS-Motif|
4. Bugs |zOS-Bugs|
5. Limitations |zOS-limitations|
6. Open source on z/OS UNIX |zOS-open-source|
Contributors: ~
The port to z/OS UNIX was done by Ralf Schandl for the Redbook mentioned
below.
Changes, bug-reports, or both by:
David Moore
Anthony Giorgio
and others
==============================================================================
1. ASCII/EBCDIC dependent scripts *OS390-has-ebcdic* *zOS-has-ebcdic*
For the internal script language the feature "ebcdic" was added. With this
you can fix ASCII dependent scripts like this:
>
if has("ebcdic")
let space = 64
else
let space = 32
endif
<
==============================================================================
2. PuTTY and Colors *OS390-PuTTY* *zOS-PuTTY*
If you see problems with syntax highlighting or screen corruptions when you
connect to z/OS using Putty, try the following:
- Configure Putty as "vt220" terminal (Connection->Data)
- Add the following 3 lines to your vimrc:
>
set t_AB=[4%p1%dm
set t_AF=[3%p1%dm
set t_CO=8
<
Note:  is one character use <C-V><Esc> to enter it.
==============================================================================
3. Motif Problems *OS390-Motif* *zOS-Motif*
Note: Seen with Vim 6.*, never tested since.
It seems that in porting the Motif library to z/OS, a translation from EBCDIC
to ASCII for the accelerator characters of the pull-down menus was forgotten.
Even after I tried to hand convert the menus, the accelerator keys continued
to only work for the opening of menus (like <Alt-F> to open the file menu).
They still do not work for the menu items themselves (like <Alt-F>O to open
the file browser).
There is no solution for this yet.
==============================================================================
4. Bugs *OS390-bugs* *zOS-Bugs*
- Vim will consistently hang when a large amount of text is selected in
visual block mode. This may be due to a memory corruption issue. Note that
this occurs in both the terminal and gui versions.
==============================================================================
5. Limitations *OS390-limitations* *zOS-limitations*
- No binary search in tag files.
The program /bin/sort sorts by ASCII value by default. This program is
normally used by ctags to sort the tags. There might be a version of
ctags out there, that does it right, but we can't be sure. So this seems to
be a permanent restriction.
- The cscope interface (|cscope|) doesn't work for the version of cscope
that we use on our mainframe. We have a copy of version 15.0b12, and it
causes Vim to hang when using the "cscope add" command. I'm guessing that
the binary format of the cscope database isn't quite what Vim is expecting.
I've tried to port the current version of cscope (15.3) to z/OS, without
much success. If anyone is interested in trying, drop me a line if you
make any progress.
- No glib/gtk support. I have not been able to successfully compile glib on
z/OS UNIX. This means you'll have to live without the pretty gtk toolbar.
Disabled at compile time:
- Multibyte support (|multibyte|)
- Right-to-left mode (|rileft|)
- Farsi key map (|Farsi|)
- Arabic language support (|Arabic|)
- Spell checking (|spell|)
Never tested:
- Perl interface (|perl|)
- Encryption support (|encryption|)
- Langmap (|'langmap'|)
- Python support (|Python|)
- Right-to-left mode (|'rightleft'|)
- SNiFF+ interface (|sniff|)
- TCL interface (|tcl|)
...
==============================================================================
6. Open source on z/OS UNIX *OS390-open-source* *zOS-open-source*
If you are interested in other Open Source Software on z/OS UNIX, have a
look at the following Redbook:
Mike MacIsaac et al
"Open Source Software for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX"
IBM Form Number: SG24-5944-01
ISBN: 0738424633
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/servers_eserver_zseries_zos_unix_redbook_sg245944.pdf

*os_amiga.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2010 Aug 14
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
*Amiga*
This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim.
There is also a section specifically for |MorphOS| below.
NOTE: The Amiga code is still included, but has not been maintained or tested.
Installation on the Amiga:
- Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will
look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command).
Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around:
when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used.
- With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been
compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are
in "C:" (for executing external commands).
- Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk
624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for
executing external commands).
If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and
csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
"rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez
version 0.5.
If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without
the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can
recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x.
See the makefiles and feature.h.
If you notice Vim crashes on some files when syntax highlighting is on, or
when using a search pattern with nested wildcards, it might be that the stack
is too small. Try increasing the stack size. In a shell use the Stack
command before launching Vim. On the Workbench, select the Vim icon, use the
workbench "Info" menu and change the Stack field in the form.
If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes:
t_mr (for inverted text)
t_md (for bold text)
t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md)
t_so (for standout mode)
t_se (for normal text after t_so)
t_us (for underlined text)
t_ue (for normal text after t_us)
t_ZH (for italic text)
t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH)
Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are:
30 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off
31 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface
32 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint
33 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic
34 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore
35 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video
36 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible
37 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background
The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be
the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For
example to get white text on a blue background: >
:set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
:set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
:set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
:set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
:set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m
:set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m
:set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m
:set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m
:set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m
When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g. >
:r! echo this; echo that
Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the
commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done
automatically in Vim). Examples: >
:r! (echo this; echo that)
:r! {echo this; echo that}
Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file
name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded
spaces need to be escaped with a backslash.

Vim for MorphOS *MorphOS*
[this section mostly by Ali Akcaagac]
For the latest info about the MorphOS version:
http://www.akcaagac.com/index_vim.html
Problems ~
There are a couple of problems which are not MorphOS related but more Vim and
UN*X related. When starting up Vim in ram: it complains with a nag requester
from MorphOS please simply ignore it. Another problem is when running Vim as
is some plugins will cause a few problems which you can ignore as well.
Hopefully someone will be fixing it over the time.
To pass all these problems for now you can either run:
vim <file to be edited>
or if you want to run Vim plain and enjoy the motion of Helpfiles etc. it then
would be better to enter:
vim --noplugins <of course you can add a file>
Installation ~
1) Please copy the binary 'VIM' file to c:
2) Get the Vim runtime package from:
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/amiga/vim62rt.tgz
and unpack it in your 'Apps' directory of the MorphOS installation. For me
this would create following directory hierarchy:
MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62/...
3) Add the following lines to your s:shell-startup (Important!).
;Begin VIM
Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62
Assign HOME: ""
;End VIM
4) Copy the '.vimrc' file to s:
5) There is also a file named 'color-sequence' included in this archive. This
will set the MorphOS Shell to show ANSI colors. Please copy the file to s:
and change the s:shell-startup to:
;Begin VIM
Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62
Assign HOME: ""
Execute S:Color-Sequence
Cls
;End VIM

*os_beos.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2010 Aug 14
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
*BeOS* *BeBox*
This is a port of Vim 5.1 to the BeOS Preview Release 2 (also known as PR2)
or later.
This file contains the particularities for the BeBox/BeOS version of Vim. For
matters not discussed in this file, Vim behaves very much like the Unix
|os_unix.txt| version.
1. General |beos-general|
2. Compiling Vim |beos-compiling|
3. Timeout in the Terminal |beos-timeout|
4. Unicode vs. Latin1 |beos-unicode|
5. The BeOS GUI |beos-gui|
6. The $VIM directory |beos-vimdir|
7. Drag & Drop |beos-dragndrop|
8. Single Launch vs. Multiple
Launch |beos-launch|
9. Fonts |beos-fonts|
10. The meta key modifier |beos-meta|
11. Mouse key mappings |beos-mouse|
12. Color names |beos-colors|
13. Compiling with Perl |beos-perl|
1. General *beos-general*
The default syntax highlighting mostly works with different foreground colors
to highlight items. This works best if you set your Terminal window to a
darkish background and light letters. Some middle-grey background (for
instance (r,g,b)=(168,168,168)) with black letters also works nicely. If you
use the default light background and dark letters, it may look better to
simply reverse the notion of foreground and background color settings. To do
this, add this to your .vimrc file (where <Esc> may need to be replaced with
the escape character): >
:if &term == "beos-ansi"
: set t_AB=<Esc>[3%dm
: set t_AF=<Esc>[4%dm
:endif
2. Compiling Vim *beos-compiling*
From the Advanced Access Preview Release (AAPR) on, Vim can be configured with
the standard configure script. To get the compiler and its flags right, use
the following command-line in the shell (you can cut and paste it in one go):
CC=$BE_C_COMPILER CFLAGS="$BE_DEFAULT_C_FLAGS -O7" \
./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
$BE_C_COMPILER is usually "mwcc", $BE_DEFAULT_C_FLAGS is usually "-I- -I."
When configure has run, and you wish to enable GUI support, you must edit the
config.mk file so that the lines with GUI_xxx refer to $(BEOSGUI_xxx) instead
of $(NONE_xxx).
Alternatively you can make this change in the Makefile; it will have a
more permanent effect. Search for "NONE_".
After compilation you need to add the resources to the binary. Add the
following few lines near the end (before the line with "exit $exit_value") of
the link.sh script to do this automatically.
rmattr BEOS:TYPE vim
copyres os_beos.rsrc vim
mimeset vim
Also, create a dummy file "strip":
#!/bin/sh
mimeset $1
exit 0
You will need it when using "make install" to install Vim.
Now type "make" to compile Vim, then "make install" to install it.
If you want to install Vim by hand, you must copy Vim to $HOME/config/bin, and
create a bunch of symlinks to it ({g,r,rg}{vim,ex,view}). Furthermore you must
copy Vim's configuration files to $HOME/config/share/vim:
vim-5.0s/{*.vim,doc,syntax}. For completeness, you should also copy the nroff
manual pages to $HOME/config/man/man1. Don't forget ctags/ctags and xxd/xxd!
Obviously, you need the unlimited linker to actually link Vim. See
http://www.metrowerks.com for purchasing the CodeWarrior compiler for BeOS.
There are currently no other linkers that can do the job.
This won't be able to include the Perl or Python interfaces even if
you have the appropriate files installed. |beos-perl|
3. Timeout in the Terminal *beos-timeout*
Because some POSIX/UNIX features are still missing[1], there is no direct OS
support for read-with-timeout in the Terminal. This would mean that you cannot
use :mappings of more than one character, unless you also :set notimeout.
|'timeout'|
To circumvent this problem, I added a workaround to provide the necessary
input with timeout by using an extra thread which reads ahead one character.
As a side effect, it also makes Vim recognize when the Terminal window
resizes.
Function keys are not supported in the Terminal since they produce very
indistinctive character sequences.
These problems do not exist in the GUI.
[1]: there is no select() on file descriptors; also the termios VMIN and VTIME
settings do not seem to work properly. This has been the case since DR7 at
least and still has not been fixed as of PR2.
*beos-unicode*
4. Unicode vs. Latin1 *beos-utf8*
BeOS uses Unicode and UTF-8 for text strings (16-bit characters encoded to
8-bit characters). Vim assumes ISO-Latin1 or other 8-bit character codes.
This does not produce the desired results for non-ASCII characters. Try the
command :digraphs to see. If they look messed up, use :set isprint=@ to
(slightly) improve the display of ISO-Latin1 characters 128-255. This works
better in the GUI, depending on which font you use (below).
You may also use the /boot/bin/xtou command to convert UTF-8 files from (xtou
-f iso1 filename) or to (xtou -t iso1 filename) ISO-Latin1 characters.
5. The BeOS GUI *beos-gui*
The BeOS GUI is no longer included. It was not maintained for a while and
most likely didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
and merge it back in.
6. The $VIM directory *beos-vimdir*
$VIM is the symbolic name for the place where Vims support files are stored.
The default value for $VIM is set at compile time and can be determined with >
:version
The normal value is /boot/home/config/share/vim. If you don't like it you can
set the VIM environment variable to override this, or set 'helpfile' in your
.vimrc: >
:if version >= 500
: set helpfile=~/vim/vim54/doc/help.txt
: syntax on
:endif
7. Drag & Drop *beos-dragndrop*
You can drop files and directories on either the Vim icon (starts a new Vim
session, unless you use the File Types application to set Vim to be "Single
Launch") or on the Vim window (starts editing the files). Dropping a folder
sets Vim's current working directory. |:cd| |:pwd| If you drop files or
folders with either SHIFT key pressed, Vim changes directory to the folder
that contains the first item dropped. When starting Vim, there is no need to
press shift: Vim behaves as if you do.
Files dropped set the current argument list. |argument-list|
8. Single Launch vs. Multiple Launch *beos-launch*
As distributed Vim's Application Flags (as seen in the FileTypes preference)
are set to Multiple Launch. If you prefer, you can set them to Single Launch
instead. Attempts to start a second copy of Vim will cause the first Vim to
open the files instead. This works from the Tracker but also from the command
line. In the latter case, non-file (option) arguments are not supported.
NB: Only the GUI version has a BApplication (and hence Application Flags).
This section does not apply to the GUI-less version, should you compile one.
9. Fonts *beos-fonts*
Set fonts with >
:set guifont=Courier10_BT/Roman/10
where the first part is the font family, the second part the style, and the
third part the size. You can use underscores instead of spaces in family and
style.
Best results are obtained with monospaced fonts (such as Courier). Vim
attempts to use all fonts in B_FIXED_SPACING mode but apparently this does not
work for proportional fonts (despite what the BeBook says).
Vim also tries to use the B_ISO8859_1 encoding, also known as ISO Latin 1.
This also does not work for all fonts. It does work for Courier, but not for
ProFontISOLatin1/Regular (strangely enough). You can verify this by giving the >
:digraphs
command, which lists a bunch of characters with their ISO Latin 1 encoding.
If, for instance, there are "box" characters among them, or the last character
isn't a dotted-y, then for this font the encoding does not work.
If the font you specify is unavailable, you get the system fixed font.
Standard fixed-width system fonts are:
ProFontISOLatin1/Regular
Courier10_BT/Roman
Courier10_BT/Italic
Courier10_BT/Bold
Courier10_BT/Bold_Italic
Standard proportional system fonts are:
Swis721_BT/Roman
Swis721_BT/Italic
Swis721_BT/Bold
Swis721_BT/Bold_Italic
Dutch801_Rm_BT/Roman
Dutch801_Rm_BT/Italic
Dutch801_Rm_BT/Bold
Dutch801_Rm_BT/Bold_Italic
Baskerville/Roman
Baskerville/Italic
Baskerville/Bold
Baskerville/Bold_Italic
SymbolProp_BT/Regular
Try some of them, just for fun.
10. The meta key modifier *beos-meta*
The META key modifier is obtained by the left or right OPTION keys. This is
because the ALT (aka COMMAND) keys are not passed to applications.
11. Mouse key mappings *beos-mouse*
Vim calls the various mouse buttons LeftMouse, MiddleMouse and RightMouse. If
you use the default Mouse preference settings these names indeed correspond to
reality. Vim uses this mapping:
Button 1 -> LeftMouse,
Button 2 -> RightMouse,
Button 3 -> MiddleMouse.
If your mouse has fewer than 3 buttons you can provide your own mapping from
mouse clicks with modifier(s) to other mouse buttons. See the file
vim-5.x/macros/swapmous.vim for an example. |gui-mouse-mapping|
12. Color names *beos-colors*
Vim has a number of color names built-in. Additional names are read from the
file $VIMRUNTIME/rgb.txt, if present. This file is basically the color
database from X. Names used from this file are cached for efficiency.
13. Compiling with Perl *beos-perl*
Compiling with Perl support enabled is slightly tricky. The Metrowerks
compiler has some strange ideas where to search for include files. Since
several include files with Perl have the same names as some Vim header
files, the wrong ones get included. To fix this, run the following Perl
script while in the vim-5.0/src directory: >
preproc.pl > perl.h
#!/bin/env perl
# Simple #include expander, just good enough for the Perl header files.
use strict;
use IO::File;
use Config;
sub doinclude
{
my $filename = $_[0];
my $fh = new IO::File($filename, "r");
if (defined $fh) {
print "/* Start of $filename */\n";
while (<$fh>) {
if (/^#include "(.*)"/) {
doinclude($1);
print "/* Back in $filename */\n";
} else {
print $_;
}
}
print "/* End of $filename */\n";
undef $fh;
} else {
print "/* Cannot open $filename */\n";
print "#include \"$filename\"\n";
}
}
chdir $Config{installarchlib}."/CORE";
doinclude "perl.h";
It expands the "perl.h" header file, using only other Perl header files.
Now you can configure & make Vim with the --enable-perlinterp option.
Be warned though that this adds about 616 kilobytes to the size of Vim!
Without Perl, Vim with default features and GUI is about 575K, with Perl
it is about 1191K.

*os_mint.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2005 Mar 29
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Jens M. Felderhoff
*MiNT* *Atari*
This file contains the particularities for the Atari MiNT version of Vim.
For compiling Vim on the Atari running MiNT see "INSTALL" and "Makefile"
in the src directory.
Vim for MiNT behaves almost exactly like the Unix version.
The Unix behavior described in the documentation also refers to the
MiNT version of Vim unless explicitly stated otherwise.
For wildcard expansion of <~> (home directory) you need a shell that
expands the tilde. The vanilla Bourne shell doesn't recognize it.
With csh and ksh it should work OK.
The MiNT version of vim needs the termcap file /etc/termcap with the
terminal capabilities of your terminal. Builtin termcaps are
supported for the vt52 terminal. Termcap entries for the TOSWIN window
manager and the virtual console terminals have been appended to the
termcap file that comes with the Vim distribution.
If you should encounter problems with swapped <BS> and <Del> keys, see
|:fixdel|.
Because terminal updating under MiNT is often slow (e.g. serial line
terminal), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' options are default off.
If you have a fast terminal, try setting them on. You might
also want to set 'ttyfast'.

*os_os2.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2007 Apr 22
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Paul Slootman
*os2* *OS2* *OS/2*
This file contains the particularities for the OS/2 version of Vim.
At present there is no native PM version of the GUI version of Vim: The OS/2
version is a console application. However, there is now a Win32s-compatible
GUI version, which should be usable by owners of Warp 4 (which supports
Win32s) in a Win-OS/2 session. The notes in this file refer to the native
console version.
NOTE
This OS/2 port works well for me and a couple of other OS/2 users; however,
since I haven't had much feedback, that either means no (OS/2-specific) bugs
exist (besides the ones mentioned below), or no one has yet created a
situation in which any bugs are apparent. File I/O in Dos and Unix mode,
binary mode, and FAT handling all seem to work well, which would seem to be
the most likely places for trouble.
A known problem is that files opened by Vim are inherited by other programs
that are started via a shell escape from within Vim. This specifically means
that Vim won't be able to remove the swap file(s) associated with buffers open
at the time the other program was started, until the other program is stopped.
At that time, the swap file may be removed, but if Vim could not do that the
first time, it won't be removed at all. You'll get warnings that some other
Vim session may be editing the file when you start Vim up again on that file.
This can be reproduced with ":!start epm". Now quit Vim, and start Vim again
with the file that was in the buffer at the time epm was started. I'm working
on this!
A second problem is that Vim doesn't understand the situation when using it
when accessing the OS/2 system via the network, e.g. using telnet from a Unix
system, and then starting Vim. The problem seems to be that OS/2 =sometimes=
recognizes function / cursor keys, and tries to convert those to the
corresponding OS/2 codes generated by the "normal" PC keyboard. I've been
testing a workaround (mapping the OS/2 codes to the correct functions), but so
far I can't say anything conclusive (this is on Warp 3, by the way). In the
meantime any help will be appreciated.

To run Vim, you need the emx runtime environment (at least rev. 0.9b). This
is generally available as (ask Archie about it):
emxrt.zip emx runtime package
I've included a copy of emx.dll, which should be copied to one of the
directories listed in your LIBPATH. Emx is GPL'ed, but the emx.dll library is
not (read COPYING.EMX to find out what that means to you).
This emx.dll is from the emxfix04.zip package, which unfortunately has a bug,
eh, I mean a POSIX feature, in select(). Versions of Vim before 3.27 will
appear to hang when starting (actually, while processing vimrc). Hit <Enter> a
couple of times until Vim starts working if this happens. Next, get an up to
date version of Vim!
HELP AND VIMRC FILE
If you unpack the archive that Vim came in and run Vim directly from where it
was unpacked, Vim should be able to find the runtime files and your .vimrc
without any settings.
If you put the runtime files separately from the binary, the VIM environment
variable is used to find the location of the help files and the system .vimrc.
Place an entry such as this in CONFIG.SYS: >
SET VIM=c:/local/lib/vim
Put your .vimrc and your other Vim files in this directory. Copy the runtime
directory to this directory. Each version of Vim has its own runtime
directory. It will be called something like "c:/local/lib/vim/vim54". Thus
you get a tree of Vim files like this:
c:/local/lib/vim/.vimrc
c:/local/lib/vim/vim54/filetype.vim
c:/local/lib/vim/vim54/doc/help.txt
etc.
Note: .vimrc may also be called _vimrc to accommodate those who have chosen to
install OS/2 on a FAT file system. Vim first tries to find .vimrc and if that
fails, looks for _vimrc in the same place. The existence of a .vimrc or
_vimrc file influences the 'compatible' options, which can have unexpected side
effects. See |'compatible'|.
If you're using network drives with OS/2, then you can install Vim on a
network drive (including .vimrc; this is then called the "system" vimrc file),
and then use a personal copy of .vimrc (the "user" vimrc file). This should be
located in a directory indicated by the HOME environment variable.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES IN FILE NAMES
This HOME environment variable is also used when using ~ in file names, so
":e ~/textfile" will edit the file "textfile" in the directory referred to by
HOME. Additionally you can use other environment variables in file names, as
in ":n $SRC/*.c".
The HOME environment variable is also used to locate the .viminfo file
(see |viminfo-file|). There is no support yet for .viminfo on FAT file
systems yet, sorry. You could try the -i startup flag (as in "vim -i
$HOME/_viminfo") however.
If the HOME environment variable is not set, the value "C:/" is used as a
default.
BACKSLASHES
Using slashes ('/') and backslashes ('\') can be a bit of a problem (see
|dos-backslash| for more explanation), but in almost all cases Vim does "The
Right Thing". Vim itself uses backslashes in file names, but will happily
accept forward slashes if they are entered (in fact, sometimes that works
better!).
TEMP FILES
Temporary files (for filtering) are put in the first directory in the next
list that exists and where a file can be created:
$TMP
$TEMP
C:\TMP
C:\TEMP
current directory
TERMINAL SETTING
*os2ansi*
Use "os2ansi" as the TERM environment variable (or don't set it at all, as the
default is the correct value). You can set term to os2ansi in the .vimrc, in
case you need TERM to be a different value for other applications. The
problem is that OS/2 ANSI emulation is quite limited (it doesn't have insert /
delete line, for example).
If you want to use a different value for TERM (because of other programs, for
example), make sure that the termcap entry for that TERM value has the
appropriate key mappings. The termcap.dat distributed with emx does not always
have them. Here are some suitable values to add to the termcap entry of your
choice; these allow the cursor keys and the named function keys (such as
pagedown) to work.

Paul Slootman
43 LINE WINDOW
A suggestion from Steven Tryon, on how to run Vim in a bigger window:
When I call Vim from an OS/2 WPS application such as PMMail it comes up
in the default 25-line mode. To get a more useful window size I make
my external editor "vimbig.cmd" which in turn calls "vimbig2.cmd".
Brute force and awkwardness, perhaps, but it works.
vimbig.cmd: >
@echo off
start "Vi Improved" /f vimbig2.cmd %1 %2 %3 %4
vimbig2.cmd: >
@echo off
mode 80,43
vim.exe %1 %2 %3 %4
exit
<
CLIPBOARD ACCESS (provided by Alexander Wagner)
Vim for OS/2 has no direct access to the system clipboard. To enable access
anyway you need an additional tool which gives you access to the clipboard
from within a vio application. The freeware package clipbrd.zip by Stefan
Gruendel can be used for this purpose. You might download the package
including precompiled binaries and all sources from:
http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/clipboard/index.html
http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/os2/pmtools/
Installation of this package is straight forward: just put the two executables
that come with this package into a directory within your PATH for Vim should
be able to call them from whatever directory you are working.
To copy text from the clipboard to your Vim session you can use the :r
command. Simply call clipbrd.exe from within Vim in the following way: >
:r !clipbrd -r
To copy text from Vim to the system clipboard just mark the text in the usual
vim-manner and call: >
:!clipbrd -w
which will write your selection right into OS/2's clipboard.
For ease of use you might want to add some maps for these commands. E.g. to
use F11 to paste the clipboard into Vim and F12 to copy selected text to the
clipboard you would use: >
if has("os2")
imap <F11> <ESC>:r !clipbrd -r<CR>i
vmap <F12> :!clipbrd -w<cr>
else
imap <F11> <ESC>"*p<CR>i
vmap <F12> "*y
endif
This will ensure that only on OS/2 clipbrd is called whereas on other
platforms vims build in mechanism is used. (To enable this functions on every
load of Vim place the above lines in your .vimrc.)

*os_qnx.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2005 Mar 29
VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Julian Kinraid
*QNX* *qnx*
1. General |qnx-general|
2. Compiling Vim |qnx-compiling|
3. Terminal support |qnx-terminal|
4. Photon GUI |photon-gui|
5. Photon fonts |photon-fonts|
6. Bugs & things To Do
==============================================================================
1. General *qnx-general*
Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. |os_unix.txt|
2. Compiling Vim *qnx-compiling*
Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to
compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running
./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile
vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other
features you can enable/disable.
3. Terminal support *qnx-terminal*
Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options
are compiled in, which they are normally.
The options that affect mouse support are |'mouse'| and |'ttymouse'|. When
using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is
supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm
will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate from what
vim's doing.
When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt-RightMouse to open the pterm menu.
To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse=
4. Photon GUI *photon-gui*
To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise
the terminal version will run. For more info - |gui-x11-start|
Supported features:
:browse command |:browse|
:confirm command |:confirm|
Cursor blinking |'guicursor'|
Menus, popup menus and menu priorities |:menu|
|popup-menu|
|menu-priority|
Toolbar |gui-toolbar|
|'toolbar'|
Font selector (:set guifont=*) |photon-fonts|
Mouse focus |'mousefocus'|
Mouse hide |'mousehide'|
Mouse cursor shapes |'mouseshape'|
Clipboard |gui-clipboard|
Unfinished features:
Various international support, such as Farsi & Hebrew support,
different encodings, etc.
This help file
Unsupported features:
Find & Replace window |:promptfind|
Tearoff menus
Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them
5. Fonts *photon-fonts*
You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option >
:set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal
<
The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be
escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using
'*' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can
select a font.
Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and
style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the
various styles.
The options are,
s{size} Set the size of the font to {size}
b Bold style
a Use antialiasing
i Italic style
Examples:
Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing >
:set guifont=monospace:s10:a
<
Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics >
:set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i
<
Select a font with the requester >
:set guifont=*
<
6. Bugs & things To Do
Known problems:
- Vim hangs sometimes when running an external program. Workaround:
put this line in your |vimrc| file: >
set noguipty
Bugs:
- Still a slight problem with menu highlighting.
- When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that
doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw
bold text it will be all messed up.
- The cursor can sometimes be hard to see.
- A number of minor problems that can fixed. :)
Todo:
- Improve multi-language support.
- Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar.
- Find & Replace dialog.
- The clientserver features.
- Maybe tearoff menus.
- Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external
programs.

==============================================================================
1. Getting started *vms-started*
Vim (Vi IMproved) is a Vi-compatible text editor that runs on nearly every
operating system known to humanity. Now use Vim on OpenVMS too, in character
or X/Motif environment. It is fully featured and absolutely compatible with
Vim on other operating systems.
==============================================================================
2. Download files *vms-download*
You can download the Vim source code by ftp from the official Vim site:
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/
Or use one of the mirrors:
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS
You can download precompiled executables from:
http://www.polarhome.com/vim/
ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/
To use the precompiled binary version, you need one of these archives:
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 (optional)
vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files
The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files.
For GTK executables you will need GTKLIB that is available for
Alpha and IA64 platform.
==============================================================================
3. Compiling *vms-compiling*
See the file [.SRC]INSTALLVMS.TXT.
==============================================================================
4. Problems *vms-problems*
The code has been tested under Open VMS 6.2 - 8.2 on Alpha, VAX and IA64
platforms with the DEC C compiler. It should work without big problems.
If your system does not have some include libraries you can tune up in
OS_VMS_CONF.H file.
If you decided to build Vim with +perl, +python, etc. options, first you need
to download OpenVMS distributions of Perl and Python. Build and deploy the
libraries and change adequate lines in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. There should not be
a problem from Vim side.
Also GTK, XPM library paths should be configured in MAKE_VMS.MMS
Note: Under VAX it should work with the DEC C compiler without problems. The
VAX C compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives
semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program that will do the lion
part of the job. For detailed instructions read file INSTALLvms.txt
MMS_VIM.EXE is build together with VIM.EXE, but for XXD.EXE you should
change to a subdirectory and build it separately.
CTAGS is not part of the Vim source distribution anymore, however the OpenVMS
specific source might contain CTAGS source files as described above.
You can find more information about CTAGS on VMS at
http://www.polarhome.com/ctags/
Advanced users may try some acrobatics in FEATURE.H file as well.
It is possible to compile with +xfontset +xim options too, but then you have
to set up GUI fonts etc. correctly. See :help xim from Vim command prompt.
You may want to use GUI with GTK icons, then you have to download and install
GTK for OpenVMS or at least runtime shareable images - LIBGTK from
polarhome.com
For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing
list <vim-vms@polarhome.com>
More about the vim-vms list can be found at:
http://www.polarhome.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-vms
==============================================================================
5. Deploy *vms-deploy*
Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files:
vim (or wherever)
|- tmp
|- vim57
|----- doc
|----- syntax
|- vim62
|----- doc
|----- syntax
|- vim64
|----- doc
|----- syntax
vimrc (system rc files)
gvimrc
Use: >
define/nolog VIM device:[path.vim]
define/nolog VIMRUNTIME device:[path.vim.vim60]
define/nolog TMP device:[path.tmp]
To get vim.exe to find its document, filetype, and syntax files, and to
specify a directory where temporary files will be located. Copy the "runtime"
subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime.
Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional.
If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically.
Read more about it at :help runtime
If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS,
XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation.
The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s).
The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: >
define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH
or as: >
define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN
==============================================================================
6. Practical usage *vms-usage*
Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore
it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim.
Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position.
Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory).
Set up the logical $VIM as: >
$ define VIM device:<path>
Set up some symbols: >
$ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode.
$ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
$ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode.
$ gv*im :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g
Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols.
You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory
(SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings.
The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file
(MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will
be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have
their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and
.gvimrc. It should work without problems.
Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading
".". So, system rc files are: >
$VIM:vimrc
$VIM:gvimrc
$VIM:menu.vim
and user customized rc files are: >
sys$login:.vimrc
sys$login:.gvimrc
You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command.
Example LOGIN.COM: >
$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM]
$ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
$ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40
$ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.223/trans=tcpip
Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or
clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in
DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well.
You just have to define the "whole" path: >
$ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>"
$ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE"
For example: >
$ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]"
$ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required
You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim
if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not
defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more
information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim
command.
System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation,
then add to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM >
$ define/nolog/sys VIM device:<path>
$ define/nolog/sys TMP SYS$SCRATCH
And to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGIN.COM >
$ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
$ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40
It will set up a normal Vim work environment for every user on the system.
IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line
parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command
line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used.
Examples:
>
vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit
vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view")
vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc
vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc
==============================================================================
7. GUI mode questions *vms-gui*
OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most
of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation.
It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it
is not too complicated either.
First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled.
Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise
you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing.
Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you
need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK
can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/).
1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console:
Start Vim with the command: >
$ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g
<
or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help
gui
2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote
X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: >
$ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name>
<
and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or
type: help set disp in VMS prompt.
Examples: >
$ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet
$ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network
$ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node
Note: you should define just one of these.
For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt.
3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box.
It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console.
4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment
you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2.
For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc.,
as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with
built-in DEC support.
Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup
than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI
features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables.

8.16 Common VIM directory - different architectures
8.1 Backspace/delete
There are backspace/delete key inconsistencies with VMS.
:fixdel doesn't do the trick, but the solution is: >
:inoremap ^? ^H " for terminal mode
:inoremap <Del> ^H " for gui mode
Read more in ch: 8.6 (Terminal problems).
(Bruce Hunsaker <BNHunsaker@chq.byu.edu> Vim 5.3)
8.2 Filters
Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle
input/output redirection like Unix (<infile >outfile), you could use >
:map \s 0!'aqsort<CR>
(Charles E. Campbell, Jr. <cec@gryphon.gsfc.nasa.gov> Vim 5.4)
8.3 VMS file version numbers
Vim is saving files into a new file with the next higher file version
number, try these settings. >
:set nobackup " does not create *.*_ backup files
:set nowritebackup " does not have any purpose on VMS. It's the
" default.
Recovery is working perfectly as well from the default swap file.
Read more with :help swapfile
(Claude Marinier <ClaudeMarinier@xwavesolutions.com> Vim 5.5, Zoltan Arpadffy
Vim 5.6)
8.4 Directory conversion
Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS
paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble:
/abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi.
/abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j
/abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2
/abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno.
abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno.
./ -> current directory
../ -> relative parent directory
[.def.ghi] -> relative child directory
./def/ghi -> relative child directory
Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as
rf10:<user.zay.work>test.c;1
(David Elins <delins@foliage.com>, Jerome Lauret
<JLAURET@mail.chem.sunysb.edu> Vim 5.6)
8.5 Remote host invocation
It is possible to use Vim as an internode editor.
1. Edit some file from remote node: >
vi "<server>""username passwd""::<device>:<path><filename>;<version>"
Example: >
vi "pluto""zay passwd""::RF10:<USER.ZAY.WORK>TEST.C;1"
Note: syntax is very important, otherwise VMS will recognize more parameters
instead of one (resulting with: file not found)
2. Set up Vim as your internode editor. If Vim is not installed on your
host, just set up your IP address, the full Vim path including the server name
and run the command procedure below: >
$ if (p1 .eqs. "") .OR. (p2 .eqs. "") then goto usage
$ set disp/create/node=<your_IP_here>/trans=tcpip
$ define "VIM "<vim_server>""''p1' ''p2'""::<device>:<vim_path>"
$ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE"
$ gv*im :== "spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g"
$ goto end
$ usage:
$ write sys$output " Please enter username and password as a parameter."
$ write sys$output " Example: @SETVIM.COM username passwd"
$ end:
Note: Never use it in a clustered environment (you do not need it), loading
could be very-very slow, but even faster than a local Emacs. :-)
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6)
8.6 Terminal problems
If your terminal name is not known to Vim and it is trying to find the default
one you will get the following message during start-up:
---
Terminal entry not found in termcap
'unknown-terminal' not known. Available built-in terminals are:
builtin_gui
builtin_riscos
builtin_amiga
builtin_beos-ansi
builtin_ansi
builtin_vt320
builtin_vt52
builtin_pcansi
builtin_win32
builtin_xterm
builtin_debug
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'vt320'
---
The solution is to define the default terminal name: >
$ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead.
$ ! Note: it's case sensitive
$ define term "vt320"
Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra
keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows,
Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to
.gvimrc: >
inoremap <Del> <BS>
Vim will also recognize that they are fast terminals.
If you have some annoying line jumping on the screen between windows add to
your .vimrc file: >
set ttyfast " set fast terminal
Note: if you're using Vim on remote host or through a very slow connection, it's
recommended to avoid the fast terminal option with: >
set nottyfast " set terminal to slow mode
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6)
8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools
A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses
special commands to execute executables: >
RUN <path>filename
MCR <path>filename <parameters>
OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them
to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all
DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS,
etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help
xxd).
Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable.
Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: >
:%!mc vim:xxd
... or in general: >
:!mc <path>filename <parameters>
Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu.
To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard
parameters as: >
define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags"
For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS
documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html.
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6-70)
8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc
If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows)
you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line
indication.
The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say:
>
:so sys$login:.vimrc
One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and
uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files
with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one
machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS).
(Sandor Kopanyi, <sandor.kopanyi@mailbox.hu> Vim 6.0a)
8.9 Printing from Vim
To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set
up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical
SYS$PRINT to your default print queue.
Example: >
$define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI
You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area.
More info under :help hardcopy
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.0c)
8.10 Setting up the symbols
When I use GVIM this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits.
I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem.
I suggest this instead: >
$ GV*IM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40
The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the
parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window.
Without the -GEOMETRY, the GVIM window size will be minimal and the menu
will be confused after a window-resize.
(Carlo Mekenkamp, Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.0ac)
8.11 diff and other GNU programs
From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use
GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work.
There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff
and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your
diff program as: >
define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe
Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode)
There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same
problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for
Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS.
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.1)
8.12 diff-mode
Vim 6.0 and higher supports Vim diff-mode (See |new-diff-mode|, |diff-mode|
and |08.7|). This uses the external program 'diff' and expects a Unix-like
output format from diff. The standard VMS diff has a different output
format. To use Vim on VMS in diff-mode, you need to:
1 Install a Unix-like diff program, e.g. GNU diff
2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode.
You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU
tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to
unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that
points to that directory, e.g: >
DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU]
You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL
prompt: >
GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE
Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example
settings from |diff-diffexpr| and change the call to the external diff
program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: >
" Set up vimdiff options
if v:version >= 600
" Use GNU diff on VMS
set diffexpr=MyDiff()
function MyDiff()
let opt = ""
if &diffopt =~ "icase"
let opt = opt . "-i "
endif
if &diffopt =~ "iwhite"
let opt = opt . "-b "
endif
silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " . opt . v:fname_in . " " . v:fname_new .
\ " > " . v:fname_out
endfunction
endif
You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only
mode: >
$ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2>
You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: >
$ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R
$ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R
You can now compare files in 4 ways: >
1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2>
2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2>
3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2>
4. GVIM diff: $ GVIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2>
(Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1)
8.13 Allow '$' in C keywords
DEC C uses many identifiers with '$' in them. This is not allowed in ANSI C,
and Vim recognises the '$' as the end of the identifier. You can change this
with the 'iskeyword' option.
Add this command to your .vimrc file: >
autocmd FileType c,cpp,cs set iskeyword+=$
You can also create the file(s) $VIM/FTPLUGIN/C.VIM (and/or CPP.VIM and
CS.VIM) and add this command: >
set iskeyword+=$
Now word-based commands, e.g. the '*'-search-command and the CTRL-]
tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in
C keywords since ctags version 5.1.)
(Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1)
8.14 VIMTUTOR for beginners
The VIMTUTOR.COM DCL script can help Vim beginners to learn/make their first
steps with Vim on OpenVMS. Depending of binary distribution you may start it
with: >
@vim:vimtutor
(Thomas.R.Wyant III, Vim 6.1)
8.16 Slow start in console mode issue
As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators
deploy those executables system wide.
Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather
slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X
environment detection timeout.
Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy
both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: >
|- vim73
|----- doc
|----- syntax
vimrc (system rc files)
gvimrc
gvim.exe (the renamed GUI or GTK built vim.exe)
vim.exe (the console only executable)
Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: >
$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM73] ! where you VIM directory is
$ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
$ gvi*m :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE
$ ! or you can try to spawn with
$ gv*im :== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40
Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in
console mode can avoid performance problems.
(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2)
8.15 Common VIM directory - different architectures
In a cluster that contains nodes with different architectures like below:
$show cluster
View of Cluster from system ID 11655 node: TOR 18-AUG-2008 11:58:31
+---------------------------------+
<EFBFBD> SYSTEMS <20> MEMBERS <20>
+-----------------------+---------<2D>
<EFBFBD> NODE <20> SOFTWARE <20> STATUS <20>
+--------+--------------+---------<2D>
<EFBFBD> TOR <20> VMS V7.3-2 <20> MEMBER <20>
<EFBFBD> TITAN2 <20> VMS V8.3 <20> MEMBER <20>
<EFBFBD> ODIN <20> VMS V7.3-2 <20> MEMBER <20>
+---------------------------------+
It is convenient to have a common VIM directory but execute different
executables.
There are several solutions for this problem:
Solution 1. All executables in the same directory with different names
This is easily done with the following script that can be added
to the login.com or sylogin.com: >
$ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX"
$ then
$ say "VAX platform"
$ vi*m:== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_VAX
$ endif
$ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH"
$ then
$ say "ALPHA platform"
$ vi*m :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_AXP
$ endif
$ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64"
$ then
$ say "IA64 platform"
$ vi*m :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_IA64
$ endif
Solution 2. Different directories: >
$ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX"
$ then
$ say "VAX platform"
$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VAX_EXE] ! VAX executables
$ endif
$ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH"
$ then
$ say "ALPHA platform"
$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.AXP_EXE] ! AXP executables
$ endif
$ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64"
$ then
$ say "IA64 platform"
$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.IA64_EXE] ! IA64 executables
$ endif
$! VIMRUNTIME must be defined in order to find runtime files
$ define/nolog VIMRUNTIME RF10:[UTIL.VIM73]
A good example for this approach is the [GNU]gnu_tools.com script from
GNU_TOOLS.ZIP package downloadable from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/
