-There is a special version of Gvim that runs under Windows 3.1 and 3.11. You
-need the gvim.exe that was compiled with Visual C++ 4.1.
-
-To run the Win32 version under Windows 3.1, you need to install Win32s. You
-might have it already from another Win32 application which you have installed.
-If Vim doesn't seem to be running properly, get the latest version: 1.30c.
-You can find it at:

-(Microsoft moved it again, we don't know where it is now :-( ).
-
-The reason for having two versions of gvim.exe is that the Win32s version was
-compiled with VC++ 4.1. This is the last version of VC++ that supports Win32s
-programs. VC++ 5.0 is better, so that one was used for the Win32 version.
-Apart from that, there is no difference between the programs. If you are in a
-mixed environment, you can use the gvim.exe for Win32s on both.
-
-The Win32s version works the same way as the Win32 version under 95/NT. When
-running under Win32s the following differences apply:
-- You cannot use long file names, because Windows 3.1 doesn't support them!
-- When executing an external command, it doesn't return an exit code. After
- doing ":make" you have to do ":cn" yourself.

-Q. I'm using Win32s, and when I try to run an external command like "make",
- Vim doesn't wait for it to finish! Help!
-A. The problem is that a 32-bit application (Vim) can't get notification from
- Windows that a 16-bit application (your DOS session) has finished. Vim
- includes a work-around for this, but you must set up your DOS commands to
- run in a window, not full-screen. Unfortunately the default when you
- install Windows is full-screen. To change this:
- 1) Start PIF editor (in the Main program group).
- 2) Open the file "_DEFAULT.PIF" in your Windows directory.
- 3) Changes the display option from "Full Screen" to "Windowed".
- 4) Save and exit.
-
- To test, start Vim and type >
- :!dir C:\<CR>".
-< You should see a DOS box window appear briefly with the directory listing.

Q. I use Vim under Win32s and NT. In NT, I can define the console to default to
50 lines, so that I get a 80x50 shell when I ':sh'. Can I do the same in
W3.1x, or am I stuck with 80x25?
