I installed Vim by building ncurses and then Vim natively under GnuWin32. If you want to try this approach, I posted the instructions to the list several weeks ago. E-mail me if you want me to send them again. (Of course, I am doing all of this under NT 4.0; I don't know if Win95 makes a difference in this case.) --John > ---------- > From: Moure Mosq., Jose M[SMTP:jmoure AT ree DOT es] > Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 1998 1:12 AM > To: 'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com' > Subject: Problem with VIM editor in gnu-win32 b18 > > Hello all.

Any idea? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
