6916 | 44 There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems. |
45 This `README.md` file comes with the runtime archive. It includes the | |
46 documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime. To run | |
47 Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive. | |
48 Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you | |
25700 | 49 want or must compile it yourself. Check https://www.vim.org/download.php for |

85 The Vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners. Often it can be |
6916 | 86 started as `vimtutor`. See `:help tutor` for more information. |
87 | |
88 The best is to use `:help` in Vim. If you don't have an executable yet, read | |
25700 | 89 [`runtime/doc/help.txt`](/runtime/doc/help.txt). |
24468 | 90 It contains pointers to the other documentation files. |
91 The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use | |
6916 | 92 Vim. See `:help user-manual`. |
93 | |
94 | |
95 ## Copying ## | |
96 | |
97 Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are | |
98 encouraged to make a donation to help orphans in Uganda. Please read the file | |
24468 | 99 [`runtime/doc/uganda.txt`](runtime/doc/uganda.txt) |
100 for details (do `:help uganda` inside Vim). | |
6916 | 101 |
102 Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an | |
103 unmodified copy of Vim. Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license | |
104 text must always be included. For modified versions a few restrictions apply. | |
105 The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and | |
106 distribute it. | |
107 | |
108 | |
109 ## Sponsoring ## | |
110 | |
111 Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show | |
112 your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue | |
113 working on Vim please send a donation. | |
114 | |
115 Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children | |
24468 | 116 in Uganda. See [`runtime/doc/uganda.txt`](runtime/doc/uganda.txt). But |
117 at the same time donations increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim! | |
6916 | 118 |
119 For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site: | |
