Tony, I've unpackaged all three archives, so now the contents of the directory they are in looks contains these files: vim70, vim70 2, and vim70 3. vim70 is the regular Unix directory, 2 is extra, and 3 is language. Am I supposed to put 2 and 3 into the original? Am I supposed to move the contents of each /src directory into the one in the Unix archive?
