David E. O'Brien 87322138a9 Beta version of Vim 5.0.
Vim 5.0 beta is still under development (hasn't really reached a final beta
stage).  Until that point, I don't want to change the stable vim-4.6 port.

Note that Vim5.0 has syntax coloring and Perl 5.004 support.

Plaintext

Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX text editor vi. Only the 'Q'
command is missing (you don't need it).
Many new features have been added:
multiple windows and buffers, multi level undo, command line history,
filename completion, selection highlighting, block operations (including
column/rectangular blocks), etc.
an X-windows aware or a full X-windows GUI version can also be built
that allows full use of the mouse and pull-down menus
Portability to all UNIX platforms, Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows NT, and
Archimedes.
