vim for Palm?

[Marc Abramowitz]

Has anyone ever managed to build vim or a subset of vim features for
Palm OS?

I'd love to have some of the vim searching and text completion features
for my Treo 650. Before I invested time in downloading a Palm
development environment (I am a software guy but have never developed
for Palm before) and trying to hack the vim code, I thought I'd see if
anyone had many any progress in this area.

Never heard about any successful attempts. In fact even not about
unsuccessful. Some time ago here or on vim-dev was thread about
obstacles of porting Vim to PalmOS.

Googling for that, I saw some links that ended with
http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/vim.html
It claims to be a port of vim 6.0 for palms....
I have not tested it (no palm, no testing;) but
:h quotes has some lines about someone using vim on a palm

This one is a port to Microsoft Win CE/ce.net/PocketPC. I think the
original query was about PalmOS. There are some editors for Palm OS but
AFAIK they are all rather limited -- also due to restrictions in
previous version of the OS I think. A free (GPL, I think) editor for
PalmOS is SiEd.

Cheers,
Thomas.
