[Vim-vms] Vim: Caught deadly signal BUS

[Jim Agnew - Department of Neurosurgery, VCU Medical Center]

Hello Groen!!!

first, make sure your decc is up to revision, read the vms readme in the 
vim distribution.  You'll need plenty of ram, my ole mvax 3900 only has 
64, and is not enough.  These people here on this list is top-notch and 
helpfull...
