hi,

No...no... polarhome will continue to provide Vim-VMS executables in future
as well... but Vim will be included in in HP's GNV, therefore, with time,
polarhome will have less importance.

Anyhow, we can and should continue development and add new features to VMS
version, the difference is that we may ask HP for opinion and competent help
if needed, because from now, HP is commercially interested to have reliable
and bug free Vim on OpenVMS.

I feel, that this will just improve Vim on VMS platform.

Regards, 
Z

Are you telling me that HP will take over the
ownership/maintenance/development of Vim/VMS ?
I missed that news.
Ah, I see you forwarded a mail from Frank Ries to the vim-vms list that
seems to suggest this.

Does that mean that soon http://gnv.sourceforge.net will be the new home
for Vim-VMS?

And you do a great job!
Thank you very much!
All hail Zoltan Arpadffy!
