8This file contains the particularities for the Atari MiNT version of Vim.
9
10For compiling Vim on the Atari running MiNT see "INSTALL" and "Makefile"
11in the src directory.
12
13Vim for MiNT behaves almost exactly like the Unix version.
14The Unix behavior described in the documentation also refers to the
15MiNT version of Vim unless explicitly stated otherwise.
16
17For wildcard expansion of <~> (home directory) you need a shell that
18expands the tilde.  The vanilla Bourne shell doesn't recognize it.
19With csh and ksh it should work OK.
20
21The MiNT version of vim needs the termcap file /etc/termcap with the
22terminal capabilities of your terminal.  Builtin termcaps are
23supported for the vt52 terminal.  Termcap entries for the TOSWIN window
24manager and the virtual console terminals have been appended to the
25termcap file that comes with the Vim distribution.
26
27If you should encounter problems with swapped <BS> and <Del> keys, see
28|:fixdel|.
29
30Because terminal updating under MiNT is often slow (e.g. serial line
31terminal), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' options are default off.
32If you have a fast terminal, try setting them on.  You might
33also want to set 'ttyfast'.
