-This file explains the installation of Vim on OS/2 systems.

+However, support for OS/2 has been removed in patch 7.4.1008.
 See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.

-NOTE: You will need two archives:
-  vim74rt.zip	contains the runtime files (same as for the PC version)
-  vim74os2.zip	contains the OS/2 executables
-
-1. Go to the directory where you want to put the Vim files.  Examples:
-	cd C:\
-	cd D:\editors
-
-2. Unpack the zip archives.  This will create a new directory "vim/vim74",
-   in which all the distributed Vim files are placed.  Since the directory
-   name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite
-   existing files.
-   Examples:
-	pkunzip -d vim74os2.zip
-	unzip vim74os2.zip
-
-   After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree
-   to another location.
-
-3. Add the directory where vim.exe is to your path.  The simplest is to add a
-   line to your autoexec.bat.  Examples:
-	set path=%path%;C:\vim\vim74
-	set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim74
-
-That's it!

-
-Extra remarks:
-
-- To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your
-  own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout:
-  ("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace with the path you use)
-  Your own files:
-	C:\vim\_vimrc			Your personal vimrc.
-	C:\vim\_viminfo			Dynamic info for 'viminfo'.
-	C:\vim\...			Other files you made.
-  Distributed files:
-	C:\vim\vim74\vim.exe		The Vim version 7.4 executable.
-	C:\vim\vim74\doc\*.txt		The version 7.4 documentation files.
-	C:\vim\vim74\bugreport.vim	A Vim version 7.4 script.
-	C:\vim\vim74\...		Other version 7.4 distributed files.
-  In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this:
-	set VIM=C:\vim
-
-- You can put your Vim executable anywhere else.  If the executable is not
-  with the other distributed Vim files, you should set $VIM.  The simplest is
-  to add a line to your autoexec.bat.  Examples:
-	set VIM=c:\vim
-	set VIM=d:\editors\vim
