patch 9.0.1827: xxd: no color support

patch 9.0.1827: xxd: no color support
Problem: xxd: no color support
Solution: Add color support using xxd -R
Add some basic color support for xxd
The hex-value and value are both colored with the same color depending
on the hex-value, e.g.:
0x00 = white
0xff = blue
printable = green
non-printable = red
tabs and linebreaks = yellow
Each character needs 11 more bytes to contain color. (Same color in a
row could contain only one overhead but the logic how xxd creates colums
must be then changed.) Size of colored output is increased by factor of
~6. Also grepping the output will break when colors is used.
Flag for color is "-R", because less uses "-R".
Color uses parameters auto,always,never same as less and grep (among
others).
E.g.
xxd -R always $FILE | less -R
Add some screen-tests (that currently on work on linux) to verify the
feature works as expected.

| 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 |
| 23466 | 75 platforms with the DEC C compiler. It should work without major 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 |
| 21676 | 91 MMS_VIM.EXE is built together with VIM.EXE, but for XXD.EXE you should |
| 3082 | 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 | |
| 15640 | 107 Post 7.2 Vim uses GTK2+ while the last GTK on OpenVMS is 1.2.10, therefore |
| 15729 | 108 the GTK build is no longer available. |
| 7 | 109 |
| 110 For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing | |
| 111 list <vim-vms@polarhome.com> | |

| 115 ============================================================================== | |
| 116 | |
| 117 5. Deploy *vms-deploy* | |
| 118 | |
| 119 Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files: | |
| 120 | |
| 121 vim (or wherever) | |
| 122 |- tmp | |
| 123 |- vim57 | |
| 124 |----- doc | |
| 125 |----- syntax | |
| 701 | 126 |- vim62 |
| 7 | 127 |----- doc |
| 128 |----- syntax | |
| 701 | 129 |- vim64 |
| 7 | 130 |----- doc |
| 131 |----- syntax | |
| 132 vimrc (system rc files) | |
| 133 gvimrc | |
| 134 | |
| 135 Use: > | |
| 136 | |
| 137 define/nolog VIM device:[path.vim] | |
| 138 define/nolog VIMRUNTIME device:[path.vim.vim60] | |
| 139 define/nolog TMP device:[path.tmp] | |

143 subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime. |
| 7 | 144 |
| 145 Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional. | |
| 146 | |
| 147 If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically. | |
| 236 | 148 Read more about it at :help runtime |
| 7 | 149 |
| 150 If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS, | |
| 151 XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation. | |
| 236 | 152 The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s). |
| 153 The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: > | |
| 7 | 154 |
| 155 define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH | |
| 156 or as: > | |
| 157 define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN | |
| 158 | |
| 159 ============================================================================== | |
| 160 | |
| 161 6. Practical usage *vms-usage* | |
| 162 | |
| 163 Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore | |
| 164 it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim. | |
| 236 | 165 Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position. |
| 7 | 166 Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory). |
| 236 | 167 Set up the logical $VIM as: > |
| 7 | 168 |
| 169 $ define VIM device:<path> | |
| 170 | |
| 171 Set up some symbols: > | |
| 172 | |
| 173 $ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode. | |
| 174 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE | |
| 175 | |
| 176 $ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode. | |
| 177 $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g | |
| 178 | |
| 179 Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols. | |
| 180 | |
| 181 You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory | |
| 182 (SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings. | |
| 183 | |
| 236 | 184 The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file |
| 185 (MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will | |
| 3082 | 186 be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have |
| 187 their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and | |
| 188 .gvimrc. It should work without problems. | |
| 7 | 189 |
| 236 | 190 Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading |
| 191 ".". So, system rc files are: > | |
| 7 | 192 |
| 193 $VIM:vimrc | |
| 194 $VIM:gvimrc | |
| 195 $VIM:menu.vim | |
| 196 | |
| 236 | 197 and user customized rc files are: > |
| 7 | 198 |
| 199 sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 200 sys$login:.gvimrc | |
| 201 | |
| 3082 | 202 You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command. |
| 7 | 203 |
| 204 Example LOGIN.COM: > | |
| 205 | |
| 32004 | 206 $ define/nolog VIM DKA0:[UTIL.VIM81] |
| 7 | 207 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE |
| 208 $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 | |

|
209 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.10.202/trans=tcpip |
| 7 | 210 |
| 3082 | 211 Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or |
| 212 clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in | |
| 236 | 213 DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well. |
| 7 | 214 You just have to define the "whole" path: > |
| 215 | |
| 216 $ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>" | |
| 217 $ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" | |
| 218 | |
| 3082 | 219 For example: > |
| 7 | 220 |
| 221 $ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" | |
| 222 $ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required | |
| 223 | |
| 236 | 224 You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim |
| 225 if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not | |
| 226 defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more | |
| 227 information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim | |
| 228 command. | |
| 7 | 229 |
| 230 System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation, | |
| 231 then add to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM > | |
| 232 | |
| 233 $ define/nolog/sys VIM device:<path> | |
| 234 $ define/nolog/sys TMP SYS$SCRATCH | |

| 240 | |
| 241 | |
| 236 | 242 It will set up a normal Vim work environment for every user on the system. |
| 7 | 243 |
| 701 | 244 IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line |
| 1120 | 245 parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command |
| 701 | 246 line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used. |
| 247 | |
| 248 Examples: | |
| 249 > | |
| 250 vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit | |
| 856 | 251 vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view") |
| 252 vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc | |
| 253 vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc | |
| 254 | |

| 256 | |
| 257 7. GUI mode questions *vms-gui* | |
| 258 | |
| 236 | 259 OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most |
| 260 of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation. | |
| 261 It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it | |
| 262 is not too complicated either. | |
| 7 | 263 |
| 236 | 264 First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled. |
| 7 | 265 |
| 266 Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise | |
| 267 you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing. | |
| 268 | |
| 236 | 269 Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you |
| 270 need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK | |
| 412 | 271 can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/). |
| 7 | 272 |
| 273 1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console: | |
| 274 Start Vim with the command: > | |
| 275 | |
| 276 $ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g | |
| 277 < | |
| 236 | 278 or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help |
| 279 gui | |
| 7 | 280 |
| 236 | 281 2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote |
| 282 X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: > | |
| 7 | 283 |
| 284 $ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name> | |
| 285 < | |
| 236 | 286 and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or |
| 7 | 287 type: help set disp in VMS prompt. |
| 288 Examples: > | |
| 289 | |
| 290 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet | |
| 291 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network | |
| 292 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node | |
| 293 | |
| 294 Note: you should define just one of these. | |
| 295 For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt. | |
| 296 | |
| 297 3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box. | |
| 298 It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console. | |
| 299 | |
| 236 | 300 4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment |
| 301 you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2. | |
| 3082 | 302 For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc., |
| 7 | 303 as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with |
| 236 | 304 built-in DEC support. |
| 7 | 305 |
| 306 Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup | |
| 3082 | 307 than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI |
| 7 | 308 features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables. |

| 341 | |
| 342 | |
| 343 8.2 Filters | |
| 344 | |
| 236 | 345 Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle |
| 7 | 346 input/output redirection like Unix (<infile >outfile), you could use > |
| 347 | |
| 348 :map \s 0!'aqsort<CR> | |

| 353 8.3 VMS file version numbers | |
| 354 | |
| 355 Vim is saving files into a new file with the next higher file version | |
| 356 number, try these settings. > | |
| 357 | |
| 358 :set nobackup " does not create *.*_ backup files | |
| 236 | 359 :set nowritebackup " does not have any purpose on VMS. It's the |
| 856 | 360 " default. |
| 7 | 361 |
| 3082 | 362 Recovery is working perfectly as well from the default swap file. |

| 236 | 366 Vim 5.6) |
| 7 | 367 |
| 368 | |
| 369 8.4 Directory conversion | |
| 370 | |
| 371 Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS | |
| 236 | 372 paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble: |
| 7 | 373 |
| 374 /abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi. | |
| 375 /abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j | |
| 376 /abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2 | |
| 377 /abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 378 abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. | |
| 379 ./ -> current directory | |
| 380 ../ -> relative parent directory | |
| 381 [.def.ghi] -> relative child directory | |
| 382 ./def/ghi -> relative child directory | |
| 383 | |
| 384 Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as | |

| 425 8.6 Terminal problems | |
| 426 | |
| 427 If your terminal name is not known to Vim and it is trying to find the default | |
| 428 one you will get the following message during start-up: | |
| 429 --- | |
| 430 Terminal entry not found in termcap | |
| 236 | 431 'unknown-terminal' not known. Available built-in terminals are: |
| 7 | 432 builtin_gui |
| 433 builtin_riscos | |
| 434 builtin_amiga | |
| 435 builtin_ansi | |
| 436 builtin_vt320 | |
| 437 builtin_vt52 | |
| 438 builtin_pcansi | |
| 439 builtin_win32 | |
| 440 builtin_xterm | |
| 441 builtin_iris-ansi | |
| 442 builtin_debug | |
| 443 builtin_dumb | |
| 444 defaulting to 'vt320' | |
| 445 --- | |
| 3082 | 446 The solution is to define the default terminal name: > |
| 7 | 447 |
| 236 | 448 $ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead. |
| 7 | 449 $ ! Note: it's case sensitive |
| 450 $ define term "vt320" | |
| 451 | |
| 3082 | 452 Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra |
| 453 keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows, | |
| 236 | 454 Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to |
| 7 | 455 .gvimrc: > |
| 456 | |
| 457 inoremap <Del> <BS> | |
| 458 | |
| 459 Vim will also recognize that they are fast terminals. | |

| 466 | |
| 467 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools | |
| 468 | |
| 469 A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses | |
| 470 special commands to execute executables: > | |
| 471 | |
| 472 RUN <path>filename | |
| 473 MCR <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 474 | |
| 475 OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them | |
| 236 | 476 to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all |
| 3082 | 477 DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS, |
| 478 etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help | |
| 7 | 479 xxd). |
| 480 | |
| 481 Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable. | |
| 482 Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: > | |
| 483 | |
| 484 :%!mc vim:xxd | |
| 485 | |
| 486 ... or in general: > | |
| 487 :!mc <path>filename <parameters> | |
| 488 | |
| 236 | 489 Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu. |
| 7 | 490 |
| 236 | 491 To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard |
| 7 | 492 parameters as: > |
| 493 | |
| 494 define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags" | |
| 495 | |
| 496 For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS | |
| 497 documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html. | |

| 500 | |
| 501 | |
| 502 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc | |
| 503 | |
| 504 If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows) | |
| 505 you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line | |
| 506 indication. | |
| 236 | 507 The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say: |
| 7 | 508 > |
| 509 :so sys$login:.vimrc | |
| 510 | |
| 511 One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and | |
| 512 uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files | |
| 513 with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one | |
| 514 machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS). | |
| 515 | |

| 517 | |
| 518 | |
| 519 8.9 Printing from Vim | |
| 520 | |
| 521 To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set | |
| 522 up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical | |
| 523 SYS$PRINT to your default print queue. | |
| 524 Example: > | |
| 525 | |
| 526 $define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI | |
| 527 | |
| 3082 | 528 You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area. |

| 534 8.10 Setting up the symbols | |
| 535 | |
| 11473 | 536 When I use gvim this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits. |
| 7 | 537 I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem. |
| 538 I suggest this instead: > | |
| 539 | |
| 540 $ GV*IM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40 | |
| 541 | |
| 542 The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the | |
| 543 parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window. | |
| 11473 | 544 Without the -GEOMETRY, the gvim window size will be minimal and the menu |
| 7 | 545 will be confused after a window-resize. |
| 546 | |
| 547 (Carlo Mekenkamp, Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.0ac) | |
| 548 | |
| 549 | |
| 550 8.11 diff and other GNU programs | |
| 551 | |
| 552 From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use | |
| 553 GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work. | |
| 236 | 554 There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff |
| 3082 | 555 and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your |
| 7 | 556 diff program as: > |
| 557 | |
| 558 define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe | |
| 559 | |
| 560 Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode) | |
| 3082 | 561 There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same |
| 562 problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for | |
| 563 Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS. | |

569 Vim 6.0 and higher supports Vim diff-mode (See |new-diff-mode|, |diff-mode| |
| 236 | 570 and |08.7|). This uses the external program 'diff' and expects a Unix-like |
| 571 output format from diff. The standard VMS diff has a different output | |

574 2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode. |
| 7 | 575 |
| 576 You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU | |
| 236 | 577 tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to |
| 7 | 578 unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that |
| 236 | 579 points to that directory, e.g: > |
| 7 | 580 |
| 581 DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU] | |
| 582 | |
| 583 You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL | |
| 584 prompt: > | |
| 585 | |
| 586 GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE | |

588 Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example |
| 7 | 589 settings from |diff-diffexpr| and change the call to the external diff |
| 236 | 590 program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: > |
| 7 | 591 |
| 592 " Set up vimdiff options | |
| 593 if v:version >= 600 | |
| 594 " Use GNU diff on VMS | |
| 595 set diffexpr=MyDiff() | |
| 596 function MyDiff() | |
| 597 let opt = "" | |
| 598 if &diffopt =~ "icase" | |
| 27903 | 599 let opt = opt .. "-i " |
| 7 | 600 endif |
| 601 if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" | |
| 27903 | 602 let opt = opt .. "-b " |
| 7 | 603 endif |
| 27903 | 604 silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " .. opt .. v:fname_in .. " " .. v:fname_new .. |
| 605 \ " > " .. v:fname_out | |
| 7 | 606 endfunction |
| 607 endif | |

609 You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only |
| 7 | 610 mode: > |
| 611 | |
| 612 $ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 613 | |
| 614 You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: > | |
| 615 | |
| 616 $ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R | |
| 617 $ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R | |
| 618 | |
| 619 You can now compare files in 4 ways: > | |
| 620 | |
| 621 1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 622 2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 623 3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |
| 624 4. GVIM diff: $ GVIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> | |

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

633 with the 'iskeyword' option. |
| 7 | 634 Add this command to your .vimrc file: > |
| 635 | |
| 636 autocmd FileType c,cpp,cs set iskeyword+=$ | |
| 637 | |
| 638 You can also create the file(s) $VIM/FTPLUGIN/C.VIM (and/or CPP.VIM and | |
| 639 CS.VIM) and add this command: > | |
| 640 | |
| 641 set iskeyword+=$ | |
| 642 | |
| 643 Now word-based commands, e.g. the '*'-search-command and the CTRL-] | |
| 236 | 644 tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in |
| 7 | 645 C keywords since ctags version 5.1.) |

661 As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators |
| 1709 | 662 deploy those executables system wide. |
| 663 Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather | |
| 3082 | 664 slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X |
| 665 environment detection timeout. | |
| 1709 | 666 |
| 667 Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy | |
| 668 both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: > | |
| 669 | |

| 1709 | 671 |----- doc |

| 674 gvimrc | |
| 3082 | 675 gvim.exe (the renamed GUI or GTK built vim.exe) |
| 676 vim.exe (the console only executable) | |
| 1709 | 677 |
| 678 Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: > | |
| 679 | |
| 2581 | 680 $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM73] ! where you VIM directory is |
| 1709 | 681 $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE |
| 682 $ gvi*m :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE | |
| 683 $ ! or you can try to spawn with | |

| 685 | |
| 686 | |
| 3082 | 687 Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in |
