- VMS diff not implemented yet. (have to use Unix like diff, provided
in GNU_TOOLS below)
NOTE:
For compatibility reasons
executables has been built on lowest available OpenVMS version.
Currently
v7.1 for
Alpha and v6.2 for VAX environment.
$ define VIM <full path to VIM directory>
System menu file should be
(actually just in GUI mode): "$VIM:menu.vim" or defined by command source
<path>menu.vim in .gvimrc
Exemple part of LOGIN.COM
vim related lines:
$ define vim RF10:[UTIL.VIM]
! vim main directory.
$ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
! vi starts vim in chr. mode.
$ gv*im :== spawn/nowait
mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g ! gvi starts vim in GUI mode.
You can find more information about setting up the the environment in os_vms.txt ... command :help vms from Vim
How does it look like now?
