VIM 7.4 FOR OS/2

This is a binary build of Vi Improved version 7.4 for OS/2 systems.  It has been
built using EMX 0.9d with GCC 2.81.

These binaries have the following notable changes from previous OS/2 builds (7.0
and lower):

 - There is no dependency on any GCC runtime besides the EMX libraries.
 - 'tee.exe' is not included, as most people will now be using the version from
   GNU coreutils (included in the standard RPM/YUM distribution).
 - The built-in terminal support is now selected when the TERM environment
   variable is 'os2' (and not 'os2ansi' as before).  The reason for this change
   is that 'SET TERM=os2' is now widespread on OS/2 systems; this allows users
   to use the standard VIM terminal settings without having to reconfigure their
   terminal library settings, which is difficult to do.

The file 'vim74_os2emx.diff' contains a diff of all changes to the 'src' tree
from the standard VIM 7.4 source distribution.

To install:
1. Unzip vim74os2.zip to a directory in your PATH (e.g. D:\usr\local\bin)
2. Unzip vim74rt.zip to a directory of your choice (e.g. D:\usr\local\share),
   and make sure the environment variable 'VIM' (alternatively 'VIMRUNTIME')
   points to the 'vim74' subdirectory in this location, e.g.
     SET VIM=D:\usr\local\share\vim74

The standard EMX runtime libraries are required.  These are not provided here,
as they are available from numerous sources, and in fact are quite likely
installed on your system already.  If not, they can be installed via YUM or
manually from http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d/emxrt.zip

This build seems to work, but has not been heavily stress-tested.  Needless to
say it is provided without warranty.

VIM is written by Bram Moolenaar.  See README.txt for general information and
licensing terms.  The OS/2 port was worked on by various people.  Enter
":help os2" in the editor for more information specific to VIM on OS/2.
