+8.1 Backspace/delete
There are backspace/delete key inconsistencies with VMS.
:fixdel doesn't do the trick, but the solution is: >
(Thomas.R.Wyant III, Vim 6.1)
+8.14 Slow start in console mode issue
+
+As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administartors
+deploy those executables system wide.
+Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather
+slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X environment detection timeout.
+
+Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy
+both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: >
+
+ |- vim72
+ |----- doc
+ |----- syntax
+ vimrc (system rc files)
+ gvimrc
+ gvim.exe (the remaned GUI or GTK built vim.exe)
+ vim.exe (the console only executable)
+
+Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: >
+
+ $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM72] ! where you VIM directory is
+ $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
+ $ gvi*m :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE
+ $ ! or you can try to spawn with
+ $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40
+
+
+Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in
+console mode can avoid performance problems.
+
+(Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2)
+
+8.15 Common VIM directory - different architectures
+
+In a cluster that contains nodes with different architectures like below:
+
+$show cluster
+View of Cluster from system ID 11655 node: TOR 18-AUG-2008 11:58:31
++---------------------------------+
+¦ SYSTEMS ¦ MEMBERS ¦
++-----------------------+---------¦
+¦ NODE ¦ SOFTWARE ¦ STATUS ¦
++--------+--------------+---------¦
+¦ TOR ¦ VMS V7.3-2 ¦ MEMBER ¦
+¦ TITAN2 ¦ VMS V8.3 ¦ MEMBER ¦
+¦ ODIN ¦ VMS V7.3-2 ¦ MEMBER ¦
++---------------------------------+
+
+It is convinient to have a common VIM directory but execute different
+executables.
+There are more solutions for this problem:
+
+solution 1. all executables in the same directory with different names
+This is easily done with the following script that can be added
+to the login.com or sylogin.com: >
+
+ $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX"
+ $ then
+ $ say "VAX platform"
+ $ vi*m:== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_VAX
+ $ endif
+ $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH"
+ $ then
+ $ say "ALPHA platform"
+ $ vi*m :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_AXP
+ $ endif
+ $ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64"
+ $ then
+ $ say "IA64 platform"
+ $ vi*m :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_IA64
+ $ endif
+
+solution 2. different directories: >
+
+ $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX"
+ $ then
+ $ say "VAX platform"
+ $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VAX_EXE] ! VAX executables
+ $ endif
+ $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH"
+ $ then
+ $ say "ALPHA platform"
+ $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.AXP_EXE] ! AXP executables
+ $ endif
+ $ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64"
+ $ then
+ $ say "IA64 platform"
+ $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.IA64_EXE] ! IA64 executables
+ $ endif
+ $! VIMRUNTIME must be defined in order to find runtime files
+ $ define/nolog VIMRUNTIME RF10:[UTIL.VIM72]
+
+A good examle for this approach is the [GNU]gnu_tools.com script from GNU_TOOLS.ZIP
+package downloadable from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/
