Problem: README files take a lot of space in the top directory. Solution: Move most of them to "READMEdir".

+README_vms.txt for version 7.4 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
+
+This file explains the installation of Vim on VMS systems.
+See "README.txt" in the runtime archive for information about Vim.
+
+
+Most information can be found in the on-line documentation. Use ":help vms"
+inside Vim. Or get the runtime files and read runtime/doc/os_vms.txt to find
+out how to install and configure Vim with runtime files etc.
+
+To compile Vim yourself you need three archives:
+ vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz runtime files
+ vim-X.X-src.tar.gz source files
+ vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz extra source files
+
+Compilation is recommended, in order to make sure that the correct
+libraries are used for your specific system. Read about compiling in
+src/INSTALLvms.txt.
+
+To use the binary version, you need one of these archives:
+
+ vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables
+ vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables
+ vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables
+ vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables
+ vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables
+ vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables
+ vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables
+ vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables
+
+and of course
+ vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files
+
+The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files,
+but there are also prepared "deploy ready" archives:
+
+vim-XX-ia64.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and
+ help files for IA64 systems
+vim-XX-axp.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and
+ help files for Alpha systems
+vim-XX-vax.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and
+ help files for VAX systems
+
+GTK builds need LIBGTK library installed.
+
+These executables and up to date patches for OpenVMS system are downloadable
+from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ or ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/
