-{Vi does not have a Windows GUI}
-
-The Win16 version of Vim will run on Windows 3.1 or later. It has not been
-tested on 3.0, it probably won't work without being recompiled and
-modified. (But you really should upgrade to 3.11 anyway. :)
-
-In most respects it behaves identically to the Win32 GUI version, including
-having a flat-style toolbar(!). The chief differences:
-
-1) Bold/Italic text is not available, to speed up repaint/reduce resource
- usage. (You can re-instate this by undefining MSWIN16_FASTTEXT.)
-2) No tearoff menu emulation.
-3) No OLE interface.
-4) No long filename support (of course).
-5) No tooltips on toolbar buttons - instead they produce command-line tips
- like menu items do.
-6) Line length limited to 32767 characters (like 16-bit DOS version).

-
-==============================================================================
-1. Starting the GUI *win16-start*
-
-The Win16 GUI version of Vim will always start the GUI, no matter how you
-start it or what it's called. There is no 'console' version as such, but you
-can use one of the DOS versions in a DOS box.
-
-The Win16 GUI has an extra menu item: "Window/Select Font". It brings up the
-standard Windows font selector. Note that bold and italic fonts are not
-supported in an attempt to maximize GDI drawing speed.
-
-Setting the menu height doesn't work for the Win16 GUI.
-
- *win16-maximized*
-If you want Vim to start with a maximized window, add this command to your
-vimrc or gvimrc file: >
- au GUIEnter * simalt ~x
-<
-
-There is a specific version of gvim.exe that runs under the Win32s subsystem
-of Windows 3.1 or 3.11. See |win32s|.
-
-==============================================================================
-2. Vim as default editor *win16-default-editor*
-
-To set Vim as the default editor for a file type you can use File Manager's
-"Associate" feature.
-
-When you open a file in Vim by double clicking it, Vim changes to that
-file's directory.
-
-See also |notepad|.
-
-==============================================================================
-3. Using the clipboard *win16-clipboard*
-
-Windows has a clipboard, where you can copy text to, and paste text from. Vim
-supports this in several ways.
-The clipboard works in the same way as the Win32 version: see |gui-clipboard|.
-
-==============================================================================
-4. Shell Commands *win16-shell*
-
-Vim spawns a DOS window for external commands, to make it possible to run any
-DOS command. The window uses the _default.pif settings.
-
- *win16-!start*
-Normally, Vim waits for a command to complete before continuing (this makes
-sense for most shell commands which produce output for Vim to use). If you
-want Vim to start a program and return immediately, you can use the following
-syntax:
- :!start {command}
-This may only work for a Windows program though.
-Don't forget that you must tell Windows 3.1x to keep executing a DOS command
-in the background while you switch back to Vim.
-
-==============================================================================
-5. Special colors *win16-colors*
-
-On Win16, the normal DOS colors can be used. See |dos-colors|.
-
-Additionally the system configured colors can also be used. These are known
-by the names Sys_XXX, where XXX is the appropriate system color name, from the
-following list (see the Win32 documentation for full descriptions). Case is
-ignored.
-
-Sys_BTNFace Sys_BTNShadow Sys_ActiveBorder
-Sys_ActiveCaption Sys_AppWorkspace Sys_Background
-Sys_BTNText Sys_CaptionText Sys_GrayText
-Sys_Highlight Sys_HighlightText Sys_InactiveBorder
-Sys_InactiveCaption Sys_InactiveCaptionText Sys_Menu
-Sys_MenuText Sys_ScrollBar Sys_Window
-Sys_WindowFrame Sys_WindowText
-
-Probably the most useful values are
- Sys_Window Normal window background
- Sys_WindowText Normal window text
- Sys_Highlight Highlighted background
- Sys_HighlightText Highlighted text
-
-These extra colors are also available:
-Gray, Grey, LightYellow, SeaGreen, Orange, Purple, SlateBlue, Violet,
-
-
-See also |rgb.txt|.
-
-==============================================================================
- *win16-dialogs*
-6. Windows dialogs & browsers
-
-The Win16 GUI can use familiar Windows components for some operations, as well
-as the traditional interface shared with the console version.
-
-
-6.1 Dialogs
-
-The dialogs displayed by the "confirm" family (i.e. the 'confirm' option,
-|:confirm| command and |confirm()| function) are GUI-based rather than the
-console-based ones used by other versions. There is no option to change this.
-
-
-6.2 File Browsers
-
-When prepending ":browse" before file editing commands, a file requester is
-used to allow you to select an existing file. See |:browse|.
-
-
-==============================================================================
-7. Various *win16-various*
-
- *win16-printing*
-The "File/Print" menu uses Notepad to print the current buffer. This is a bit
-clumsy, but it's portable. If you want something else, you can define your
-own print command. For example, you could look for the 16-bit version of
-PrintFile. See $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim for how it works by default.
-
-Using this should also work: >
- :w >>prn
-
-Vim supports a number of standard MS Windows features. Some of these are
-detailed elsewhere: see |'mouse'|, |win32-hidden-menus|.
-Also see |:simalt|
-
- *win16-drag-n-drop*
-You can drag and drop one or more files into the vim window, where they will
-be opened as normal. If you hold down Shift while doing this, Vim changes to
-the (first) dropped file's directory. If you hold Ctrl, Vim will always split
-a new window for the file. Otherwise it's only done if the current buffer has
-been changed.
-You can also drop a directory's icon, but rather than open all files in the
-directory (which wouldn't usually be what you want) Vim instead changes to
-that directory and begins a new file.
-If Vim happens to be editing a command line, the names of the dropped files
-and directories will be inserted at the cursor. This allows you to use these
-names with any Ex command.
-
- *win16-truetype*
-It is recommended that you use a raster font and not a TrueType
-fixed-pitch font. E.g. use Courier, not Courier New. This is not just
-to use less resources but because there are subtle bugs in the
-handling of fixed-pitch TrueType in Win3.1x. In particular, when you move
-a block cursor over a pipe character '|', the cursor is drawn in the wrong
-size and bits get left behind. This is a bug in the Win3.1x GDI, it doesn't
-happen if you run the exe under 95/NT.
