Hi Rick

I have something even better then 'vi' 'vim'.

You can get binaries here:  http://www.pcisys.net/~kscott/vim/


If you don't know 'vim' yet: It's a improved 'vi' with syntax highliting,
GUI and other goodis.
The basic is the same as for 'vi'!

Cheers
Henri

Rick,

You can get a beta version of VIM that compiles right out of the box
on GNU-Win32 and it has color syntax highlighting.  Here's the URL:

	ftp://ftp.oce.nl/pub/misc/vim/beta-test/unix/vim-5.0s.tar.gz

If you do download and compile it, do the following before installing:

	export SUFFIX=.exe

Try one of these:

http://www.halcyon.com/gvr/vim.html             # win32
ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/local/gvr/vim/            # Win32

http://www.tiac.net/users/cgf/cygvim50h.bin.tar.gz    # VIM 5.0h binary for cygwin32

newbie wants vi

[Rick Moll]

Sorry for the newbie question, but I've just got the gnu-win32 tools
installed and I was disappointed that there wasn't any kind of editor.
I'm totally new to all of this, gnu-win32, my WinNT system, and GNU in
general.

I'm completely lost without a vi; what's the easiest way to get one to
use with the gnu-win32 tools.  I understand that there is a "vim".  Is
this a vi workalike?  If so where's the easiest place to get it, and
will it easily port to the gnu-win32 environment?

Thanks,

    Rick
