Initial import of vim 4.2.
This is meant to replace nvi in the tree. Vim, in general, works better, provides more features, and does not suffer from the license problems being imposed upon nvi. On the other hand, vim lacks a non-visual ex mode, in addition to open mode. This includes the GUI (X11) code, but doesn't try to compile it.

+*vim_mint.txt* For Vim version 4.2. Last modification 1996 June 11
+
+This file contains the particularities for the Atari MiNT version of Vim.
+
+For compiling Vim on the Atari running MiNT see "INSTALL" and "Makefile"
+in the src directory.
+
+Vim for MiNT behaves almost exactly like the Unix version.
+The Unix behavior described in the documentation also refers to the
+MiNT version of Vim unless explicitly stated otherwise.
+
+For wildcard expansion of <~> (home directory) you need a shell that
+expands the tilde. The vanilla Bourne shell doesn't recognize it.
+With csh and ksh it should work OK.
+
+The MiNT version of vim needs the termcap file /etc/termcap with the
+terminal capabilities of your terminal. Builtin termcaps are
+supported for the vt52 terminal. Termcap entries for the TOSWIN window
+manager and the virtual console terminals have been appended to the
+termcap file that comes with the Vim disrribution.
+
+If you should encounter problems with swapped <BS> and <Del> keys, see
+|:fixdel|.
+
+Because terminal updating under MiNT is often slow (e.g. serial line
+terminal), the 'showcommand' and 'ruler' options are default off.
+If you have a fast terminal, try setting them on. You might
+also want to set 'ttyfast'.
