+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
+
