You can reach this information file by typing :help VMS in Vim command prompt. 1. Getting started |vms-started| 2. Download files |vms-download| 3. Compiling |vms-compiling| 4. Problems |vms-problems| 5. Deploy |vms-deploy| 6. Practical usage |vms-usage| 7. GUI mode questions |vms-gui| 8. Useful notes |vms-notes| 9. VMS related changes |vms-changes| 10. Authors |vms-authors| ============================================================================== 1. Getting started *vms-started* Vim (Vi IMproved) is a Vi-compatible text editor that runs on nearly every operating system known to humanity. Now use Vim on OpenVMS too, in character or X/Motif environment. It is fully featured and absolutely compatible with Vim on other operating systems. ============================================================================== 2. Download files *vms-download* You can download the Vim source code by ftp from the official Vim site: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/ Or use one of the mirrors: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS You can download precompiled executables from: http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/ To use the precompiled binary version, you need one of these archives: vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables and of course (optional) vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files. For GTK executables you will need GTKLIB that is available for Alpha and IA64 platform. ============================================================================== 3. Compiling *vms-compiling* See the file [.SRC]INSTALLVMS.TXT. ============================================================================== 4. Problems *vms-problems* The code has been tested under Open VMS 6.2 - 8.2 on Alpha, VAX and IA64 platforms with the DEC C compiler. It should work without big problems. If your system does not have some include libraries you can tune up in OS_VMS_CONF.H file. If you decided to build Vim with +perl, +python, etc. options, first you need to download OpenVMS distributions of Perl and Python. Build and deploy the libraries and change adequate lines in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. There should not be a problem from Vim side. Also GTK, XPM library paths should be configured in MAKE_VMS.MMS Note: Under VAX it should work with the DEC C compiler without problems. The VAX C compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program that will do the lion part of the job. For detailed instructions read file INSTALLvms.txt MMS_VIM.EXE is build together with VIM.EXE, but for XXD.EXE you should change to a subdirectory and build it separately. CTAGS is not part of the Vim source distribution anymore, however the OpenVMS specific source might contain CTAGS source files as described above. You can find more information about CTAGS on VMS at http://www.polarhome.com/ctags/ Advanced users may try some acrobatics in FEATURE.H file as well. It is possible to compile with +xfontset +xim options too, but then you have to set up GUI fonts etc. correctly. See :help xim from Vim command prompt. You may want to use GUI with GTK icons, then you have to download and install GTK for OpenVMS or at least runtime shareable images - LIBGTK from polarhome.com For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing list <vim-vms@polarhome.com> More about the vim-vms list can be found at: http://www.polarhome.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-vms ============================================================================== 5. Deploy *vms-deploy* Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files: vim (or wherever) |- tmp |- vim57 |----- doc |----- syntax |- vim62 |----- doc |----- syntax |- vim64 |----- doc |----- syntax vimrc (system rc files) gvimrc Use: > define/nolog VIM device:[path.vim] define/nolog VIMRUNTIME device:[path.vim.vim60] define/nolog TMP device:[path.tmp] To get vim.exe to find its document, filetype, and syntax files, and to specify a directory where temporary files will be located. Copy the "runtime" subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime. Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional. If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically. Read more about it at :help runtime If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS, XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation. The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s). The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: > define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH or as: > define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN ============================================================================== 6. Practical usage *vms-usage* Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim. Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position. Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory). Set up the logical $VIM as: > $ define VIM device:<path> Set up some symbols: > $ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode. $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode. $ gv*im :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols. You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory (SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings. The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file (MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and .gvimrc. It should work without problems. Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading ".". So, system rc files are: > $VIM:vimrc $VIM:gvimrc $VIM:menu.vim and user customized rc files are: > sys$login:.vimrc sys$login:.gvimrc You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command. Example LOGIN.COM: > $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM] $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.223/trans=tcpip Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well. You just have to define the "whole" path: > $ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>" $ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" For example: > $ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" $ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim command. System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation, then add to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM > $ define/nolog/sys VIM device:<path> $ define/nolog/sys TMP SYS$SCRATCH And to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGIN.COM > $ vi*m :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ gv*im:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 It will set up a normal Vim work environment for every user on the system. IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used. Examples: > vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view") vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc ============================================================================== 7. GUI mode questions *vms-gui* OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation. It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it is not too complicated either. First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled. Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing. Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/). 1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console: Start Vim with the command: > $ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g < or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help gui 2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: > $ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name> < and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or type: help set disp in VMS prompt. Examples: > $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node Note: you should define just one of these. For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt. 3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box. It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console. 4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2. For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc., as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with built-in DEC support. Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables. ============================================================================== 8. Useful notes *vms-notes* 8.1 Backspace/delete 8.2 Filters 8.3 VMS file version numbers 8.4 Directory conversion 8.5 Remote host invocation 8.6 Terminal problems 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc 8.9 Printing from Vim 8.10 Setting up the symbols 8.11 diff and other GNU programs 8.12 diff-mode 8.13 Allow '$' in C keywords 8.14 VIMTUTOR for beginners 8.15 Slow start in console mode issue 8.16 Common VIM directory - different architectures 8.1 Backspace/delete There are backspace/delete key inconsistencies with VMS. :fixdel doesn't do the trick, but the solution is: > :inoremap ^? ^H " for terminal mode :inoremap <Del> ^H " for gui mode Read more in ch: 8.6 (Terminal problems). (Bruce Hunsaker <BNHunsaker@chq.byu.edu> Vim 5.3) 8.2 Filters Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle input/output redirection like Unix (<infile >outfile), you could use > :map \s 0!'aqsort<CR> (Charles E. Campbell, Jr. <cec@gryphon.gsfc.nasa.gov> Vim 5.4) 8.3 VMS file version numbers Vim is saving files into a new file with the next higher file version number, try these settings. > :set nobackup " does not create *.*_ backup files :set nowritebackup " does not have any purpose on VMS. It's the " default. Recovery is working perfectly as well from the default swap file. Read more with :help swapfile (Claude Marinier <ClaudeMarinier@xwavesolutions.com> Vim 5.5, Zoltan Arpadffy Vim 5.6) 8.4 Directory conversion Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble: /abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi. /abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j /abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2 /abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. ./ -> current directory ../ -> relative parent directory [.def.ghi] -> relative child directory ./def/ghi -> relative child directory Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as rf10:<user.zay.work>test.c;1 (David Elins <delins@foliage.com>, Jerome Lauret <JLAURET@mail.chem.sunysb.edu> Vim 5.6) 8.5 Remote host invocation It is possible to use Vim as an internode editor. 1. Edit some file from remote node: > vi "<server>""username passwd""::<device>:<path><filename>;<version>" Example: > vi "pluto""zay passwd""::RF10:<USER.ZAY.WORK>TEST.C;1" Note: syntax is very important, otherwise VMS will recognize more parameters instead of one (resulting with: file not found) 2. Set up Vim as your internode editor. If Vim is not installed on your host, just set up your IP address, the full Vim path including the server name and run the command procedure below: > $ if (p1 .eqs. "") .OR. (p2 .eqs. "") then goto usage $ set disp/create/node=<your_IP_here>/trans=tcpip $ define "VIM "<vim_server>""''p1' ''p2'""::<device>:<vim_path>" $ vi*m :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" $ gv*im :== "spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g" $ goto end $ usage: $ write sys$output " Please enter username and password as a parameter." $ write sys$output " Example: @SETVIM.COM username passwd" $ end: Note: Never use it in a clustered environment (you do not need it), loading could be very-very slow, but even faster than a local Emacs. :-) (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6) 8.6 Terminal problems If your terminal name is not known to Vim and it is trying to find the default one you will get the following message during start-up: --- Terminal entry not found in termcap 'unknown-terminal' not known. Available built-in terminals are: builtin_gui builtin_riscos builtin_amiga builtin_beos-ansi builtin_ansi builtin_vt320 builtin_vt52 builtin_pcansi builtin_win32 builtin_xterm builtin_iris-ansi builtin_debug builtin_dumb defaulting to 'vt320' --- The solution is to define the default terminal name: > $ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead. $ ! Note: it's case sensitive $ define term "vt320" Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows, Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to .gvimrc: > inoremap <Del> <BS> Vim will also recognize that they are fast terminals. If you have some annoying line jumping on the screen between windows add to your .vimrc file: > set ttyfast " set fast terminal Note: if you're using Vim on remote host or through a very slow connection, it's recommended to avoid the fast terminal option with: > set nottyfast " set terminal to slow mode (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6) 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses special commands to execute executables: > RUN <path>filename MCR <path>filename <parameters> OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS, etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help xxd). Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable. Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: > :%!mc vim:xxd ... or in general: > :!mc <path>filename <parameters> Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu. To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard parameters as: > define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags" For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html. (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6-70) 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows) you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line indication. The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say: > :so sys$login:.vimrc One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS). (Sandor Kopanyi, <sandor.kopanyi@mailbox.hu> Vim 6.0a) 8.9 Printing from Vim To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical SYS$PRINT to your default print queue. Example: > $define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area. More info under :help hardcopy (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.0c) 8.10 Setting up the symbols When I use gvim this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits. I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem. I suggest this instead: > $ GV*IM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40 The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window. Without the -GEOMETRY, the gvim window size will be minimal and the menu will be confused after a window-resize. (Carlo Mekenkamp, Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.0ac) 8.11 diff and other GNU programs From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work. There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your diff program as: > define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode) There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS. (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.1) 8.12 diff-mode Vim 6.0 and higher supports Vim diff-mode (See |new-diff-mode|, |diff-mode| and |08.7|). This uses the external program 'diff' and expects a Unix-like output format from diff. The standard VMS diff has a different output format. To use Vim on VMS in diff-mode, you need to: 1 Install a Unix-like diff program, e.g. GNU diff 2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode. You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that points to that directory, e.g: > DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU] You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL prompt: > GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example settings from |diff-diffexpr| and change the call to the external diff program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: > " Set up vimdiff options if v:version >= 600 " Use GNU diff on VMS set diffexpr=MyDiff() function MyDiff() let opt = "" if &diffopt =~ "icase" let opt = opt . "-i " endif if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" let opt = opt . "-b " endif silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " . opt . v:fname_in . " " . v:fname_new . \ " > " . v:fname_out endfunction endif You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only mode: > $ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2> You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: > $ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R $ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R You can now compare files in 4 ways: > 1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 4. GVIM diff: $ GVIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> (Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1) 8.13 Allow '$' in C keywords DEC C uses many identifiers with '$' in them. This is not allowed in ANSI C, and Vim recognises the '$' as the end of the identifier. You can change this with the 'iskeyword' option. Add this command to your .vimrc file: > autocmd FileType c,cpp,cs set iskeyword+=$ You can also create the file(s) $VIM/FTPLUGIN/C.VIM (and/or CPP.VIM and CS.VIM) and add this command: > set iskeyword+=$ Now word-based commands, e.g. the '*'-search-command and the CTRL-] tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in C keywords since ctags version 5.1.) (Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1) 8.14 VIMTUTOR for beginners The VIMTUTOR.COM DCL script can help Vim beginners to learn/make their first steps with Vim on OpenVMS. Depending of binary distribution you may start it with: > @vim:vimtutor (Thomas.R.Wyant III, Vim 6.1) 8.16 Slow start in console mode issue As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators 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: > |- vim73 |----- doc |----- syntax vimrc (system rc files) gvimrc gvim.exe (the renamed 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.VIM73] ! 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 convenient to have a common VIM directory but execute different executables. There are several 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.VIM73] A good example for this approach is the [GNU]gnu_tools.com script from GNU_TOOLS.ZIP package downloadable from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2) ============================================================================== 9.
