+README for version 4.2 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
+
+Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi.  Only the "Q"
+command is missing.  Many new features have been added: multi level undo,
+command line history, filename completion, block operations, etc.  There is
+also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.  See doc/vim_diff.doc.
+
+This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII files.
+All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type
+with ten fingers can work very fast.  Additionally function keys can be
+defined by the user.
+
+Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, Windows NT, Windows 95, Atari
+MiNT, OS/2 and almost all flavours of UNIX.  There are some things included
+for the Archimedes, but it does not work yet.  There are people working on a
+VMS and a Mac port.  Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.
+
+Documentation:
+The best is to use ":help" in Vim.  If you don't have an executable (yet),
+read doc/vim_help.txt.  It contains pointers to the other documentation files.
+
+"tutor/readme" is a one hour training course for beginners.
+
+Copying:
+Vim is Charityware.  You can copy it as much as you like, but you are
+encouraged to make a donation to orphans in Uganda.  Please read the file
+"doc/vim_kcc.txt" for details.  You are allowed to include Vim on a CD-ROM if
+you send me one.
+
+Compiling:
+All stuff for compiling Vim is in the "src" directory.  See src/INSTALL for
+instructions.
+
+
