VIM Release Notes
Initial Macintosh release, VIM version 3.0
19 October 1994
Eric Fischer
<enf1@midway.uchicago.edu>, <eric@jcp.uchicago.edu>, <etaoin@uchicago.edu>
5759 N. Guilford Ave
Indianapolis IN 46220 USA
==============================================================================
1. Filename Convention *mac-filename*
You can use either the unix or mac path separator or a mix of both. In order
to determine if the specified filename is relative to the current folder or
absolute (i.e. relative to the "Desktop"), the following algorithm is used:
If the path start by a "/", the path is absolute
If the path start by a ":", the path is relative
If the path doesn't start by neither a "/" nor ":",
and a ":" is found before a "/" then the path is absolute
>
:e /HD/text
:e HD:text
< Edit the file "text" of the disk "HD" >
:e :src:main.c
:e src/main.c
< Edit the file "main.c" in the folder "src" in the current folder >
:e os_mac.c
< Edit the file "os_mac.c" in the current folder.
You can use the |$VIM| and |$VIMRUNTIME| variable. >
:so $VIMRUNTIME:syntax:syntax.vim
==============================================================================
2. .vimrc and .vim files *mac-vimfile*
On the Mac files starting with a dot "." are discouraged, thus the rc files
are named "vimrc" or "_vimrc" and "gvimrc" or "_gvimrc". These files can be in
any format (mac, dos or unix). Vim can handle any file format when the
|'nocompatible'| option is set, otherwise it will only handle mac format
files.
==============================================================================
3. Mac FAQ *mac-faq*
Q: I can't enter non-ASCII character in Apple Terminal.
A: Under Window Settings, Emulation, make sure that "Escape non-ASCII
characters" is not checked.
==============================================================================
4. Mac Lack *mac-lack*
-The filenames containing both ":" and "/" are sometimes misinterpreted.
(just re-execute the command)
-Scrollbar are not scrolling live, and when only the arrow or scroll area,
a limit of 32 line or page is scrolled.
-Syntax highlighting works on 68k Macs but is _really_ slow.
==============================================================================
5. Mac Bug Report *mac-bug*
When reporting any Mac specific bug or feature change, please use the vim-mac
maillist |vim-mac|. However, you need to be subscribed. An alternative is to
send a message to the current MacVim maintainers:
mac@vim.org
==============================================================================
6. Compiling Vim *mac-compile*
See the file "src/INSTALLmac.txt" that comes with the source files.
