This is the binary distribution of Vim 4.2 for MiNT.

The Vim distribution for MiNT comes in two files:

	vim-42b.tgz
		This contains the binaries for vim, ctags, xxd, and
		mvi as well as the online documentation.

	vim-42.tgz
		This contains the original Unix distribution.

To install the binaries:

	0. Extract the files from vim-42b.tgz with the command:
		gtar -xvzf vim-42b.tgz
	   or
	   	gunzip -c vim-42b.tgz | gtar -xvzf -
	   or
	   	gzip -dc vim-42b.tgz | gtar -xvzf -
	1. Copy vim into any directory that is reachable via 
	   the search path for executables.
	2. The default directory for the online documentation is
	   /usr/local/share/vim.  Copy the documentation files to 
	   this directory or any other directory you like.
	3. Start vim.
	4. If you have put the online documentation into a directory
	   other than the default one, change the helpfile option:
		:se helpfile=<docfile path>/vim_help.txt
	   <docfile path> is the directory where you put the
	   documentation files in step 2.
	5. Invoke the online help with:
		:he
	   Now you can browse the online help and learn how to use
	   vim. 

To compile vim:
	0. Extract the files from vim-42.tgz with the command:
		gtar -xvzf vim-42.tgz
	   or
	   	gunzip -c vim-42.tgz | gtar -xvzf -
	   or
	   	gzip -dc vim-42.tgz | gtar -xvzf -
