Mon cher Lucien: on Unix-like systems, and among others on every system where gvim can use GTK2 (as Dr. Chip's and mine do) a single executable, usually named "vim", will run as a GUI if invoked either as one of "gvim" "gview" "gvimdiff" etc. by means of a symlink, or with the -g command-line switch. It is only on Windows (and, once upon a time, on MS-DOS and possibly on Mac OS 9 and earlier) that a Vim executable can be either a GUI or a console utility but not both.
