VIM Miscellaneous Files

These are some miscellaneous files for VIM that I have written that you may find useful.

Disclaimer: These files are supplied on an as-is basis, they are used at your own risk, I cannot accept any responsibility for any problems that arise through their use.

print header

By default the page header is just printed in a bold font. Files provided here let you print the page header with:

  • an underline the width of the printed page,
  • a light gray background, or
  • an outline box.

To change how the page header is printed you need to comment out one line and un-comment another to get the header style you want. Comments in the file start with ‘%’. There are full instructions in the file explaining what you need to do.

Note: To successfully use this file you must always print with a header when printing with VIM (that is the header item of printoptions must be greater than 0 (zero)), and the text for the page header must fit on one line. Printing without a header or a multiple line header are not supported.

VIM 6.2 Installation
Create a directory in your runtimepath (see :help runtimepath for more information) called print. Download prolog.ps and save it in this directory. You do not have to restart VIM to start using this file. If you do have problems, rename the file to prolog.bak and the version supplied with VIM will be picked up again.

Once the file is installed open the file in VIM and follow the comments starting with ‘Alternative Page Header printing procedures’ to select the type of page header you want.

VIM 6.0 and 6.1 Installation
First backup your existing version of $VIMRUNTIME/procset.ps in case of problems. Next download procset.ps into your $VIMRUNTIME directory. You do not have to restart VIM to start using this file. If you do have problems, copy back the version of the file you backed up.

Once the file is installed open the file in VIM and follow the comments starting with ‘Alternative Page Header printing procedures’ to select the type of page header you want.
