+ 8.14 Slow start in console mode issue
+ 
+ As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administartors
+ deploy those executables system wide.
+ Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather
+ slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X environment detection timeout.
+ 
+ Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy
+ both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: >
+ 
+     |- vim72
+     |----- doc
+     |----- syntax        
+        vimrc    (system rc files)
+        gvimrc
+        gvim.exe (the remaned GUI or GTK built vim.exe)      
+        vim.exe  (the console only executable) 
+ 
+ Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: >
+ 
+ 	$ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM72] ! where you VIM directory is
+ 	$ vi*m  :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE
+ 	$ gvi*m :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE
+ 	$ ! or you can try to spawn with
+ 	$ gv*im :== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40
+ 
+ 
+ Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in 
+ console mode can avoid performance problems.
+ 
+ (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2)
+ 
+ 8.15 Common VIM directory - different architectures
+ 
+ In a cluster that contains nodes with different architectures like below:
+ 
+ $show cluster
+ View of Cluster from system ID 11655  node: TOR                                                                     18-AUG-2008 11:58:31
