Hello Unicoders! I've just done a test run of Vim (vi improved) version 6.1 on a localized Hebrew MS-Windows 98 Second Edition.
I use Vim on my own Win2K machine, but I had no surprises that it should work there, because Win2K supports Unicode throughout. However, it was on the Hebrew Win2K that I got a real uplift: by setting the encoding to UTF-8 and changing the keymap, I could write not just English, not even also Hebrew, but also unsupported (for that platform) languages such as Greek and Russian! Saving to a file naturally wrote down the international characters in UTF-8. What a good way to get more international support on a system when you need it. Kudos to Bram Moolenaar and all the other Vim programmers. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
