| 23 ============================================================================== | |
| 24 | |
| 25 1. Getting started *vms-started* | |
| 26 | |
| 5340 | 27 Vim (Vi IMproved) is a Vi-compatible text editor that runs on nearly every |
| 7 | 28 operating system known to humanity. Now use Vim on OpenVMS too, in character |
| 29 or X/Motif environment. It is fully featured and absolutely compatible with | |
| 30 Vim on other operating systems. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ============================================================================== | |
| 33 | |
| 34 2. Download files *vms-download* | |
| 35 | |
| 36 You can download the Vim source code by ftp from the official Vim site: | |
| 37 ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/ | |
| 38 Or use one of the mirrors: | |
| 39 ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS | |
| 40 | |
| 41 You can download precompiled executables from: | |
| 42 http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ | |
| 43 ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/ | |
| 44 | |
| 45 To use the precompiled binary version, you need one of these archives: | |
| 46 | |
| 412 | 47 vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables |
| 48 vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables | |
| 49 vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables | |
| 856 | 50 vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables |
| 51 vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables | |
| 412 | 52 vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables |
| 7 | 53 vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables |
| 54 vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables | |
| 55 | |
| 701 | 56 and of course (optional) |
| 7 | 57 vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files |
| 58 | |
| 412 | 59 The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files. |
| 7 | 60 |
| 856 | 61 For GTK executables you will need GTKLIB that is available for |
| 701 | 62 Alpha and IA64 platform. |
| 63 | |
| 7 | 64 ============================================================================== |
| 65 | |
| 66 3. Compiling *vms-compiling* | |
| 67 | |
| 68 See the file [.SRC]INSTALLVMS.TXT. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 ============================================================================== | |
| 71 | |
| 72 4. Problems *vms-problems* | |
| 73 | |
| 412 | 74 The code has been tested under Open VMS 6.2 - 8.2 on Alpha, VAX and IA64 |
| 3082 | 75 platforms with the DEC C compiler. It should work without big problems. |
| 236 | 76 If your system does not have some include libraries you can tune up in |
| 77 OS_VMS_CONF.H file. | |
| 7 | 78 |
| 79 If you decided to build Vim with +perl, +python, etc. options, first you need | |
| 236 | 80 to download OpenVMS distributions of Perl and Python. Build and deploy the |
| 81 libraries and change adequate lines in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. There should not be | |
| 82 a problem from Vim side. | |
| 7 | 83 |
| 412 | 84 Also GTK, XPM library paths should be configured in MAKE_VMS.MMS |
| 85 | |
| 236 | 86 Note: Under VAX it should work with the DEC C compiler without problems. The |
| 87 VAX C compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives | |
| 3082 | 88 semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program that will do the lion |
| 236 | 89 part of the job. For detailed instructions read file INSTALLvms.txt |
| 7 | 90 |
| 3082 | 91 MMS_VIM.EXE is build together with VIM.EXE, but for XXD.EXE you should |
| 92 change to a subdirectory and build it separately. | |
| 7 | 93 |
| 236 | 94 CTAGS is not part of the Vim source distribution anymore, however the OpenVMS |
| 95 specific source might contain CTAGS source files as described above. | |
| 7 | 96 You can find more information about CTAGS on VMS at |
| 97 http://www.polarhome.com/ctags/ | |

99 Advanced users may try some acrobatics in FEATURE.H file as well. |
| 7 | 100 |
| 101 It is possible to compile with +xfontset +xim options too, but then you have | |
| 236 | 102 to set up GUI fonts etc. correctly. See :help xim from Vim command prompt. |
| 7 | 103 |
| 104 You may want to use GUI with GTK icons, then you have to download and install | |
| 105 GTK for OpenVMS or at least runtime shareable images - LIBGTK from | |
| 106 polarhome.com | |
| 107 | |
| 108 For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing | |
| 109 list <vim-vms@polarhome.com> | |
| 110 More about the vim-vms list can be found at: | |

| 113 ============================================================================== | |
| 114 | |
| 115 5. Deploy *vms-deploy* | |
| 116 | |
| 117 Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files: | |
| 118 | |
| 119 vim (or wherever) | |
| 120 |- tmp | |
| 121 |- vim57 | |
| 122 |----- doc | |
| 123 |----- syntax | |
| 701 | 124 |- vim62 |
| 7 | 125 |----- doc |
| 126 |----- syntax | |
| 701 | 127 |- vim64 |
| 7 | 128 |----- doc |
| 129 |----- syntax | |
| 130 vimrc (system rc files) | |
| 131 gvimrc | |
| 132 | |
| 133 Use: > | |
| 134 | |
| 135 define/nolog VIM device:[path.vim] | |
| 136 define/nolog VIMRUNTIME device:[path.vim.vim60] | |
| 137 define/nolog TMP device:[path.tmp] | |

141 subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime. |
| 7 | 142 |
| 143 Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional. | |
| 144 | |
| 145 If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically. | |
| 236 | 146 Read more about it at :help runtime |
| 7 | 147 |
| 148 If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS, | |
| 149 XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation. | |
| 236 | 150 The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s). |
| 151 The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: > | |
| 7 | 152 |
| 153 define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH | |
| 154 or as: > | |
| 155 define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN | |
| 156 | |
| 157 ============================================================================== | |
| 158 | |
| 159 6. Practical usage *vms-usage* | |
| 160 | |
| 161 Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore | |
| 162 it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim. | |
| 236 | 163 Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position. |
| 7 | 164 Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory). |
| 236 | 165 Set up the logical $VIM as: > |
| 7 | 166 |
| 167 $ define VIM device:<path> | |
| 168 | |
| 169 Set up some symbols: > | |
| 170 | |
| 171 $ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode. | |
| 172 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE | |
| 173 | |
| 174 $ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode. | |
| 175 $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g | |
| 176 | |
| 177 Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols. | |
| 178 | |
| 179 You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory | |
| 180 (SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings. | |
| 181 | |
| 236 | 182 The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file |
| 183 (MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will | |
| 3082 | 184 be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have |
| 185 their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and | |
| 186 .gvimrc. It should work without problems. | |
| 7 | 187 |
| 236 | 188 Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading |
| 189 ".". So, system rc files are: > | |
| 7 | 190 |
| 191 $VIM:vimrc | |
| 192 $VIM:gvimrc | |
| 193 $VIM:menu.vim | |
| 194 | |
| 236 | 195 and user customized rc files are: > |
| 7 | 196 |
| 197 sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 198 sys$login:.gvimrc | |
| 199 | |
| 3082 | 200 You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command. |
| 7 | 201 |
| 202 Example LOGIN.COM: > | |
| 203 | |
| 204 $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM] | |
| 205 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE | |
| 206 $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 | |
| 207 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.223/trans=tcpip | |
| 208 | |
| 3082 | 209 Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or |
| 210 clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in | |
| 236 | 211 DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well. |
| 7 | 212 You just have to define the "whole" path: > |
| 213 | |
| 214 $ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>" | |
| 215 $ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" | |
| 216 | |
| 3082 | 217 For example: > |
| 7 | 218 |
| 219 $ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" | |
| 220 $ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required | |
| 221 | |
| 236 | 222 You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim |
| 223 if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not | |
| 224 defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more | |
| 225 information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim | |
| 226 command. | |
| 7 | 227 |
| 228 System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation, | |
| 229 then add to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM > | |
| 230 | |
| 231 $ define/nolog/sys VIM device:<path> | |
| 232 $ define/nolog/sys TMP SYS$SCRATCH | |
| 233 | |

234 And to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGIN.COM > |
| 7 | 235 |
| 236 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE | |
| 237 $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 | |
| 238 | |
| 239 | |
| 236 | 240 It will set up a normal Vim work environment for every user on the system. |
| 7 | 241 |
| 701 | 242 IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line |
| 1120 | 243 parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command |
| 701 | 244 line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used. |
| 245 | |
| 246 Examples: | |
| 247 > | |
| 248 vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit | |
| 856 | 249 vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view") |
| 250 vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc | |
| 251 vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc | |
| 252 | |
| 7 | 253 ============================================================================== |
| 254 | |
| 255 7. GUI mode questions *vms-gui* | |
| 256 | |
| 236 | 257 OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most |
| 258 of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation. | |
| 259 It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it | |
| 260 is not too complicated either. | |
| 7 | 261 |
| 236 | 262 First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled. |
| 7 | 263 |
| 264 Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise | |
| 265 you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing. | |
| 266 | |
| 236 | 267 Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you |
| 268 need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK | |
| 412 | 269 can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/). |
| 7 | 270 |
| 271 1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console: | |
| 272 Start Vim with the command: > | |
| 273 | |
| 274 $ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g | |
| 275 < | |
| 236 | 276 or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help |
| 277 gui | |
| 7 | 278 |
| 236 | 279 2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote |
| 280 X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: > | |
| 7 | 281 |
| 282 $ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name> | |
| 283 < | |
| 236 | 284 and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or |
| 7 | 285 type: help set disp in VMS prompt. |
| 286 Examples: > | |
| 287 | |
| 288 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet | |
| 289 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network | |
| 290 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node | |
| 291 | |
| 292 Note: you should define just one of these. | |
| 293 For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt. | |
| 294 | |
| 295 3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box. | |
| 296 It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console. | |
| 297 | |
| 236 | 298 4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment |
| 299 you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2. | |
| 3082 | 300 For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc., |
| 7 | 301 as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with |
| 236 | 302 built-in DEC support. |
| 7 | 303 |
| 304 Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup | |
| 3082 | 305 than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI |
| 7 | 306 features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables. |

| 7 | 328 |
| 1709 | 329 8.1 Backspace/delete |
| 7 | 330 |
| 331 There are backspace/delete key inconsistencies with VMS. | |
| 332 :fixdel doesn't do the trick, but the solution is: > | |
| 333 | |
| 334 :inoremap ^? ^H " for terminal mode | |
| 335 :inoremap <Del> ^H " for gui mode | |

| 339 | |
| 340 | |
| 341 8.2 Filters | |
| 342 | |
| 236 | 343 Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle |
| 7 | 344 input/output redirection like Unix (<infile >outfile), you could use > |
| 345 | |
| 346 :map \s 0!'aqsort<CR> | |

| 351 8.3 VMS file version numbers | |
| 352 | |
| 353 Vim is saving files into a new file with the next higher file version | |
| 354 number, try these settings. > | |
| 355 | |
| 356 :set nobackup " does not create *.*_ backup files | |
| 236 | 357 :set nowritebackup " does not have any purpose on VMS. It's the |
| 856 | 358 " default. |
| 7 | 359 |
| 3082 | 360 Recovery is working perfectly as well from the default swap file. |

| 236 | 364 Vim 5.6) |
| 7 | 365 |
| 366 | |
| 367 8.4 Directory conversion | |
| 368 | |
| 369 Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS | |
| 236 | 370 paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble: |
| 7 | 371 |
| 372 /abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi. | |
| 373 /abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j | |
| 374 /abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2 | |
| 375 /abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 376 abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 377 ./ -> current directory | |
| 378 ../ -> relative parent directory | |
| 379 [.def.ghi] -> relative child directory | |
| 380 ./def/ghi -> relative child directory | |
| 381 | |
| 382 Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as | |
| 383 rf10:<user.zay.work>test.c;1 | |

| 7 | 387 |
| 388 | |
| 389 8.5 Remote host invocation | |
| 390 | |
| 391 It is possible to use Vim as an internode editor. | |
| 392 1. Edit some file from remote node: > | |
| 393 | |
| 394 vi "<server>""username passwd""::<device>:<path><filename>;<version>" | |

| 398 | |
| 399 Note: syntax is very important, otherwise VMS will recognize more parameters | |
| 400 instead of one (resulting with: file not found) | |
| 401 | |
| 236 | 402 2. Set up Vim as your internode editor. If Vim is not installed on your |
| 403 host, just set up your IP address, the full Vim path including the server name | |

| 423 8.6 Terminal problems | |
| 424 | |
| 425 If your terminal name is not known to Vim and it is trying to find the default | |
| 426 one you will get the following message during start-up: | |
| 427 --- | |
| 428 Terminal entry not found in termcap | |
| 236 | 429 'unknown-terminal' not known. Available built-in terminals are: |
| 7 | 430 builtin_gui |
| 431 builtin_riscos | |
| 432 builtin_amiga | |
| 433 builtin_beos-ansi | |
| 434 builtin_ansi | |
| 435 builtin_vt320 | |
| 436 builtin_vt52 | |
| 437 builtin_pcansi | |
| 438 builtin_win32 | |
| 439 builtin_xterm | |
| 440 builtin_iris-ansi | |
| 441 builtin_debug | |
| 442 builtin_dumb | |
| 443 defaulting to 'vt320' | |
| 444 --- | |
| 3082 | 445 The solution is to define the default terminal name: > |
| 7 | 446 |
| 236 | 447 $ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead. |
| 7 | 448 $ ! Note: it's case sensitive |
| 449 $ define term "vt320" | |
| 450 | |
| 3082 | 451 Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra |
| 452 keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows, | |
| 236 | 453 Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to |
| 7 | 454 .gvimrc: > |
| 455 | |
| 456 inoremap <Del> <BS> | |
| 457 | |
| 458 Vim will also recognize that they are fast terminals. | |
| 459 | |
| 460 If you have some annoying line jumping on the screen between windows add to | |
| 461 your .vimrc file: > | |
| 462 | |
| 463 set ttyfast " set fast terminal | |
| 464 | |
| 3082 | 465 Note: if you're using Vim on remote host or through a very slow connection, it's |
| 466 recommended to avoid the fast terminal option with: > | |
| 7 | 467 |
| 468 set nottyfast " set terminal to slow mode | |

| 473 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools | |
| 474 | |
| 475 A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses | |
| 476 special commands to execute executables: > | |
| 477 | |
| 478 RUN <path>filename | |
| 479 MCR <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 480 | |
| 481 OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them | |
| 236 | 482 to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all |
| 3082 | 483 DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS, |
| 484 etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help | |
| 7 | 485 xxd). |
| 486 | |
| 487 Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable. | |
| 488 Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: > | |
| 489 | |
| 490 :%!mc vim:xxd | |
| 491 | |
| 492 ... or in general: > | |
| 493 :!mc <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 494 | |
| 236 | 495 Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu. |
| 7 | 496 |
| 236 | 497 To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard |
| 7 | 498 parameters as: > |
| 499 | |
| 500 define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags" | |
| 501 | |
| 502 For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS | |
| 503 documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html. | |

| 506 | |
| 507 | |
| 508 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc | |
| 509 | |
| 510 If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows) | |
| 511 you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line | |
| 512 indication. | |
| 236 | 513 The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say: |
| 7 | 514 > |
| 515 :so sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 516 | |
| 517 One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and | |
| 518 uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files | |
| 519 with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one | |
| 520 machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS). | |

| 523 | |
| 524 | |
| 525 8.9 Printing from Vim | |
| 526 | |
| 527 To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set | |
| 528 up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical | |
| 529 SYS$PRINT to your default print queue. | |
| 530 Example: > | |
| 531 | |
| 532 $define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI | |
| 533 | |
| 3082 | 534 You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area. |

| 540 8.10 Setting up the symbols | |
| 541 | |
| 11473 | 542 When I use gvim this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits. |
| 7 | 543 I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem. |
| 544 I suggest this instead: > | |
| 545 | |
| 546 $ GV*IM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40 | |
| 547 | |
| 548 The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the | |
| 549 parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window. | |
| 11473 | 550 Without the -GEOMETRY, the gvim window size will be minimal and the menu |
| 7 | 551 will be confused after a window-resize. |
| 552 | |
| 553 (Carlo Mekenkamp, Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.0ac) | |
| 554 | |
| 555 | |
| 556 8.11 diff and other GNU programs | |
| 557 | |
| 558 From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use | |
| 559 GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work. | |
| 236 | 560 There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff |
| 3082 | 561 and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your |
| 7 | 562 diff program as: > |
| 563 | |
| 564 define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe | |
| 565 | |
| 566 Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode) | |
| 3082 | 567 There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same |
| 568 problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for | |
| 569 Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS. | |

575 Vim 6.0 and higher supports Vim diff-mode (See |new-diff-mode|, |diff-mode| |
| 236 | 576 and |08.7|). This uses the external program 'diff' and expects a Unix-like |
| 577 output format from diff. The standard VMS diff has a different output | |

580 2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode. |
| 7 | 581 |
| 582 You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU | |
| 236 | 583 tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to |
| 7 | 584 unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that |
| 236 | 585 points to that directory, e.g: > |
| 7 | 586 |
| 587 DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU] | |
| 588 | |
| 589 You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL | |
| 590 prompt: > | |
| 591 | |
| 592 GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE | |

594 Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example |
| 7 | 595 settings from |diff-diffexpr| and change the call to the external diff |
| 236 | 596 program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: > |
| 7 | 597 |
| 598 " Set up vimdiff options | |
| 599 if v:version >= 600 | |
| 600 " Use GNU diff on VMS | |
| 601 set diffexpr=MyDiff() | |
| 602 function MyDiff() | |
| 603 let opt = "" | |
| 604 if &diffopt =~ "icase" | |
| 605 let opt = opt . "-i " | |
| 606 endif | |
| 607 if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" | |
| 608 let opt = opt . "-b " | |
| 609 endif | |
| 610 silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " . opt . v:fname_in . " " . v:fname_new . | |
| 611 \ " > " . v:fname_out | |
| 612 endfunction | |
| 613 endif | |

615 You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only |
| 7 | 616 mode: > |
| 617 | |
| 618 $ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 619 | |
| 620 You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: > | |
| 621 | |
| 622 $ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R | |
| 623 $ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R | |
| 624 | |
| 625 You can now compare files in 4 ways: > | |
| 626 | |
| 627 1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 628 2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 629 3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 630 4. GVIM diff: $ GVIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |

638 and Vim recognises the '$' as the end of the identifier. You can change this |

639 with the 'iskeyword' option. |
| 7 | 640 Add this command to your .vimrc file: > |
| 641 | |
| 642 autocmd FileType c,cpp,cs set iskeyword+=$ | |
| 643 | |
| 644 You can also create the file(s) $VIM/FTPLUGIN/C.VIM (and/or CPP.VIM and | |
| 645 CS.VIM) and add this command: > | |
| 646 | |
| 647 set iskeyword+=$ | |
| 648 | |
| 649 Now word-based commands, e.g. the '*'-search-command and the CTRL-] | |
| 236 | 650 tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in |
| 7 | 651 C keywords since ctags version 5.1.) |

667 As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators |
| 1709 | 668 deploy those executables system wide. |
| 669 Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather | |
| 3082 | 670 slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X |
| 671 environment detection timeout. | |
| 1709 | 672 |
| 673 Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy | |
| 674 both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: > | |
| 675 | |
| 2581 | 676 |- vim73 |
| 1709 | 677 |----- doc |
| 3082 | 678 |----- syntax |
| 1709 | 679 vimrc (system rc files) |
| 680 gvimrc | |
| 3082 | 681 gvim.exe (the renamed GUI or GTK built vim.exe) |
| 682 vim.exe (the console only executable) | |
| 1709 | 683 |
| 684 Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: > | |
| 685 | |
| 2581 | 686 $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM73] ! where you VIM directory is |
| 1709 | 687 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE |
| 688 $ gvi*m :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE | |
| 689 $ ! or you can try to spawn with | |
| 690 $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 | |
| 691 | |
| 692 | |
| 3082 | 693 Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in |
| 1709 | 694 console mode can avoid performance problems. |

| 766 | |
| 11473 | 767 Version 7.4 |
| 768 - Undo: VMS can not handle more than one dot in the filenames use "dir/name" -> "dir/_un_name" | |
| 5704 | 769 add _un_ at the beginning to keep the extension |
| 770 - correct swap file name wildcard handling | |
| 771 - handle iconv usage correctly | |
| 772 - do not optimize on vax - otherwise it hangs compiling crypto files | |
| 773 - fileio.c fix the comment | |
| 11473 | 774 - correct RealWaitForChar |
| 5704 | 775 - after 7.4-119 use different functions lib$cvtf_to_internal_time because Alpha and VAX have |
| 776 G_FLOAT but IA64 uses IEEE float otherwise Vim crashes | |
| 6180 | 777 - guard against crashes that are caused by mixed filenames |
| 5704 | 778 - [TESTDIR]make_vms.mms changed to see the output files |
| 779 - Improve tests, update known issues | |
| 780 - minor compiler warnings fixed | |
