Does Vim run on the Vax? Ok, it does... I hope I can install it on my public server at school. It would be great to be able to use a good editor 
What editor comes with VMS by default, anyway?
Hey, thanks to Zoltan Arpadffy, I can download a precompiled version of Vim for OpenVMS! And it's version 6 too! The weird thing is, from what's on his site it looks like he just compiled it a few hours ago. That's awesome. Happy day Ok, the download just finished, time to see if I can get it to work. I recently found out I can FTP into the school's VAX server, which is great. Even if I don't get this to work well I'll be able to FTP in with EditPlus.
Curses, foiled again! They have a paltry <1meg disk quota, and in it's smallest incarnation VIM6 is over a meg.
Well, I found a smaller version of Vim with most features disabled At least I have it available if I need it.
Otherwise, check out Compaq's OpenVMS documentation, and especially their OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, as well as the OpenVMS FAQ.
