Thanks Marc. You mean this "*linux-installation-script*"? > git --help (in terminal)should show help of git. If you get a failure > you have to install git. 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? > OSX is based on a unix like kernel. Thus everything which matters to Vim > is similar to linux.

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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
