Thanks Marc.

You mean this "*linux-installation-script*"?

I get "command not found." So I should install git? ZyX said it should be on my 
system, but that I shouldn't install it. As I understand it, something about 
some kind of problem with the current version. Still don't know what it is, 
other than, for me, simply a repository of plugins. For the moment I'm taking 
it as simply a software package that it would be good to have on my system if 
I'm going to try VAM. How do I install? It does not require that I be running a 
server?

I'm game, though I barely understand what you're suggesting. I take it it 
assumes git is installed. Beyond that it's a little vague at the moment. E.g., 
"edit the file" -- what file? Run "something" like git diff > 
osx-install-instructions.patch "in your file." Again, what file? And what does 
it mean, "in"? And do I do this in terminal or in Vim? This is a patch relative 
to git or VAM? Surely someone  else has done an osx patch for git by now?
