Better URL, please?
Authored by: babbage on Apr 30, '01 11:38:29AM

I can't find a suitable URL here, whether on the vim.org page or on the ones that it points
to as mirrors. The only Mac version I can spot is an OS9 binary, which I don't want to
bother with reinstalling under OSX. (I didn't much care for it on OS9, nevermind classic :)

Thanks...

It's a bit tough to find, since the vim.org mirrors list appears fairly out-of-date. I just kept trying them until I found one that works. The following FTP server (as of today, anyway!) works and has both files you need on it:

ftp://ftp.ny.us.vim.org/pub/editors/vim/unix/

Look for the last two in the list, vim-5.7-rt.tar.gz and vim-5.7-src.tar.gz

The new home page for vim is

http://vim.sourceforge.net/

and you can find pre-compiled versions for OS X (Terminal,
XDarwin, and Carbon) at

http://vim.sourceforge.net/download.php

I maintain the binaries for the Carbon version, which is
still somewhat buggy.

I used fink ( http://fink.sourceforge.net/ ) to install vim, also used it for clisp(worked great). Also if you want color coding just make a .vimrc file containing the line:

set term=builtin_beos-ansi

Thats it hope it works for you.
