+README_os2.txt for version 7.0aa of Vim: Vi IMproved.
+
+This file explains the installation of Vim on OS/2 systems.
+See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.
+
+
+NOTE: You will need two archives:
+ vim62rt.zip contains the runtime files (same as for the PC version)
+ vim62os2.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/vim62",
+ 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 vim62os2.zip
+ unzip vim62os2.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\vim62
+ set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim62
+
+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\vim62\vim.exe The Vim version 6.2 executable.
+ C:\vim\vim62\doc\*.txt The version 6.2 documentation files.
+ C:\vim\vim62\bugreport.vim A Vim version 6.2 script.
+ C:\vim\vim62\... Other version 6.2 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
+
+For further information, type this inside Vim:
+ :help os2
