CALVIN

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• VI.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 45.2 KB

No need to put READ.ME, VI.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 24.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy VI.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

INSTALLATION

	Installation is fairly straightforward; you should copy vi.exe into
	some directory mentioned on your PATH command.

	There is one catch, however.  If you want Calvin to use the disk to
	store information which does not fit into memory (i.e., long files),
	then you should tell it which drive and directory to use.  This can be
	done at any time using the :set directory command (see below).
	However, if you edit long files often, it would perhaps be most
	convenient to always set it when Calvin starts up.  This can be done by
	the DOS command line

		set EXINIT=set directory c:/tmp

	if, for example, you wanted to use c:/tmp as the temporary directory.
	This line can also be placed in the autoexec.bat file.


GETTING STARTED
	To edit an existing file, type

	vi name

	as a DOS command.  The first few lines of the file will then appear on
	the screen, and you may use any of the editing commands to modify it.
	For example:

		dw	    delete a word
		de	    delete a word, leaving punctuation
		dd	    delete a line
		3dd	    delete three lines
		itext<End>  insert text (note that <End> refers to the "End"
			    key on the numeric keypad)
		/string	    search for string
		xp	    transpose characters (actually two commands)

	In addition, all of the keys on the numeric keypad perform as labeled.
	When you are finished editing, type ZZ or ":x" to write the corrections
	to disk and quit.  If no corrections were made, then ZZ just quits.  To
	quit without saving corrections, use ":q!".

	If the file named in the DOS command "vi name" does not exist, Calvin
	starts with an empty file, into which text can be inserted.  This is
	how Calvin can be used to create a file.


EDITOR MODES
	Calvin has three modes, all of which occur in at least one of the above
