Thanks,
Nithin.

AFAIK no.
What's wrong with the text/HTML help available from
http://www.vim.org ?
You could also take the HTML as source to produce PS, for example
with html2ps (http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html), which in turn
can be converted to PDF (using GhostScript, http://www.cs.wisc.edu/
~ghost/).
Cheers,
Ralf

There is a vim reference
http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~olrcc/guidesource-0.6.tgz
in Latex source. It is fairly old(ver 5.8 I think) but it is extensive.
You can build a pdf file if you like from it.

Speaking of various (old) vim references that are said to be laying around...
A few years ago, a friend of mine had a vim reference that was formatted
like a little pamphlet - that is, it was printed out on normal sized paper,
but then folded down to about a fourth the size of the full sheet, with all
the pages in the right place. It was really very helpful and convenient.
I think that creating this took a combination of a special Tex/Latex file
along with some printer magic (either a special "x-up" printing program
and/or a special printer or printer driver). All I know for sure is that
it was done on a Unix system, with a postscript printer.
I have not seen anything like it since, nor have I seen any references to it.
I'd really like to get another copy of it - anyone have any ideas/pointers
to where it might be?

That is exactly the file I am talking about here. I have that lovely booklet
right here on my desk. It was written by Oleg Raisky and Bram himself. A
lovely
booklet really. Yes it is in PS format but you don't need (at least as I
remember)
a fancy printer to have it. Even if you do, print on both sides is not
*that*
hard. You can do that on a Win32 platform as well, with GhostView.
It is a pity that they halt to maintain this booklet.
Maybe this thread will woke someone to continue this job? I would love to
myself
if I have the time and knowledge. :(

I have an eight page PDF quick reference manual that I picked up off the
web. Unfortunately it does not have any reference as to version of Vim
nor a source of where the manual can be found. It has visual edit
commands but no commands for opening split windows. So I do not believe
it was written for version 6.0.
I concur that it would be very nice to have a quick reference multi fold
duplex printed document.

hmmmm. I gave a link to the source file on my previous post. But later I
found the link
http://www.vim.org/refguide/
here providing ps and pdf file of a vim reference for version 5.6.
So maybe you want to check that out.

check it out and give the author some email thanking him its a nice
document.
