Problem: README files take a lot of space in the top directory. Solution: Move most of them to "READMEdir".

+README_ami.txt for version 7.4 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
+
+This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems.
+See README.txt for general information about Vim.
+
+
+Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them. It is
+wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you
+change. The distributed files go into a subdirectory. This way you can
+easily upgrade to a new version. For example:
+
+ dh0:editors/vim contains your vimrc and modified files
+ dh0:editors/vim/vim54 contains the Vim version 5.4 distributed files
+ dh0:editors/vim/vim55 contains the Vim version 5.5 distributed files
+
+You would then unpack the archives like this:
+
+ cd dh0:editors
+ tar xf t:vim60bin.tar
+ tar xf t:vim60rt.tar
+
+Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim
+files. For the above example:
+
+ set VIM=dh0:editors/vim
+
+Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime
+files in $VIM/vim54. See ":help $VIM" for more information.
+
+Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path. Either copy the Vim
+executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify
+the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is.
