Birth of Vim
Installing First Version of Vim
- The first version of Vim (Vi IMproved) was released on the Amiga in November 1991
- Released on Fred Fish Disk #591
- Pay a certain amount and monthly receive free software on a floppy disk
- Recently I inherited an Amiga Personal Computer
- Inherited some Fred Fish Disks too, but not the right one
- My Installation:
- Downloaded FF Disk number ...
- Found a disk drive and driver and saved vim to disk in DOS format
- Amiga had program that would read DOS disks
- Copied executable from Floppy to (10 MB?) HD
- It ran!
- Next task: will C source code compile?
