VisVim works only with DevStudio 5 or 6, not Visual Studio.NET 2002 onwards. The same article indicates that with a bit of work, it's possible to write an add-in that will work in VS200[2358]. > > 3.

Bram says that it's all set up by the Makefile in the root directory, but I think you'll need a bunch of Unix-y tools to drive the process. I don't know whether Cygwin, GnuWin32, or MinGW toolchains will suffice. -- /George V.
