+2. Vimball Manual					*vimball-manual*
+
+							*:MkVimball*
+		:[range]MkVimball[!] filename
+
+	This command takes lines holding a path to files to be included in
+	your vimball; as an example: >
+		plugin/something.vim
+		doc/something.txt
+<	using MkVimball on this range will create a file called "filename.vba"
+	which can be used by Vimball.vim to re-create these files.  If the
+	"filename.vba" file already exists, then MkVimball will issue a
+	warning and not create the file.  Note that these paths are relative
+	to your .vim (vimfiles) directory, and the files should be in that
+	directory.  The vimball plugin uses the first |'runtimepath'|directory
+	that exists as a prefix; don't use absolute paths.
+
+	If you use the exclamation point (!), then MkVimball will create the
+	"filename.vba" file, overwriting it if it already exists.  This
+	behavior resembles that for |:w|.
+
+							*vimball-extract*
+		vim filename.vba
+
+	Simply editing a Vimball will cause Vimball.vim to tell the user to
+	source the file to extract its contents.
+
+	Extraction will only proceed if the first line of a putative vimball
+	file holds the "Vimball Archiver by Charles E. Campbell, Jr., Ph.D."
+	line.
+
+		:VimballList				*vimball-vimballlist*
+	
+	This command will tell Vimball to list the files in the archive, along
+	with their lengths in lines.

+3. Vimball History					*vimball-history* {{{1
+
+	11 : Apr 27, 2006 * VimballList would create missing subdirectories that
+	                    the vimball specified were needed.  Fixed.
+	10 : Apr 27, 2006 * moved all setting saving/restoration to a pair of
+	                    functions.  Included some more settings in them
+			    which frequently cause trouble.
+	9  : Apr 26, 2006 * various changes to support Windows prediliction
+	                    for backslashes and spaces in file and directory
+			    names.
+	7  : Apr 25, 2006 * bypasses foldenable
+	                  * uses more exe and less norm! (:yank :put etc)
+			  * does better at insuring a "Press ENTER" prompt
+			    appears to keep its messages visible
+	4  : Mar 31, 2006 * BufReadPost seems to fire twice; BufReadEnter
+	                    only fires once, so the "Source this file..."
+			    message is now issued only once.
+	3  : Mar 20, 2006 * removed query, now requires sourcing to be
+	                    extracted (:so %).  Message to that effect
+			    included.
+			  * :VimballList  now shows files that would be
+			    extracted.
+	2  : Mar 20, 2006 * query, :UseVimball included
+	1  : Mar 20, 2006 * initial release
