+ `README.md` for version 7.4 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

+ 

+ 

+ ## What is VIM ##

+ 

+ Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi.  Many new features

+ have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history,

+ on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, etc.

+ There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.  See

+ `runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt` for differences with Vi.

+ 

+ This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files.

+ All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type

+ with ten fingers can work very fast.  Additionally, function keys can be

+ defined by the user, and the mouse can be used.

+ 

+ Vim runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista,

+ 7), Atari MiNT, Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of

+ UNIX.  Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Distribution ##

+ 

+ There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems.

+ This `README.md` file comes with the runtime archive.  It includes the

+ documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime.  To run

+ Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive.

+ Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you

+ want or must compile it yourself.  Check http://www.vim.org/download.php for

+ an overview of currently available distributions.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Documentation ##

+ 

+ The vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners.  Mostly it can be

+ started as `vimtutor`.  See `:help tutor` for more information.

+ 

+ The best is to use `:help` in Vim.  If you don't have an executable yet, read

+ `runtime/doc/help.txt`.  It contains pointers to the other documentation

+ files.  The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use

+ Vim.  See `:help user-manual`.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Copying ##

+ 

+ Vim is Charityware.  You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are

+ encouraged to make a donation to help orphans in Uganda.  Please read the file

+ `runtime/doc/uganda.txt` for details (do `:help uganda` inside Vim).

+ 

+ Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an

+ unmodified copy of Vim.  Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license

+ text must always be included.  For modified versions a few restrictions apply.

+ The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and

+ distribute it.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Sponsoring ##

+ 

+ Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort.  To show

+ your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue

+ working on Vim please send a donation.

+ 

+ Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children

+ in Uganda.  See `runtime/doc/uganda.txt`.  But at the same time donations

+ increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim!

+ 

+ For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site:

+ 	http://www.vim.org/sponsor/

+ 

+ 

+ ## Compiling ##

+ 

+ If you obtained a binary distribution you don't need to compile Vim.  If you

+ obtained a source distribution, all the stuff for compiling Vim is in the

+ `src` directory.  See `src/INSTALL` for instructions.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Installation ##

+ 

+ See one of these files for system-specific instructions:

+ 

+ 	README_ami.txt		Amiga

+ 	README_unix.txt		Unix

+ 	README_dos.txt		MS-DOS and MS-Windows

+ 	README_os2.txt		OS/2

+ 	README_mac.txt		Macintosh

+ 	README_vms.txt		VMS

+ 

+ There are more `README_*.txt` files, depending on the distribution you used.

+ 

+ 

+ ## Information ##

+ 

+ The latest news about Vim can be found on the Vim home page:

+ 	http://www.vim.org/

+ 

+ If you have problems, have a look at the Vim documentation or tips:

+ 	http://www.vim.org/docs.php

+ 	http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki

+ 

+ If you still have problems or any other questions, use one of the mailing

+ lists to discuss them with Vim users and developers:

+ 	http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
