There are two setups, the Unix one and the MS-Windows one. If you use the Unix setup you need to do "make install". Thus uses the files in the ../runtime directory that were unpacked from the Unix tar archive. If you use the MS-Windows setup you should unpack the vim70xxrt.zip file, which puts the runtime files below the src directory, without a runtime directory. Then you can use the install.exe. -- SIGIRO -- irony detected (iron core dumped) /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
