+VimOrganizer v. 0.30
+====================
+
+November 2011
+
+
+Installation instructions
+--------------------------
+
+
+1.  Install VimOrganizer files as you would any other ftplugin, with downloaded
+files going in their respective directories under your `.vim` (Linux/Mac) 
+or `vimfiles` (Windows) directory.  
+
+2.  Run helptags on the help file in the /doc directory, vimorg.txt,
+so help items can be accessed using the Vim help system.
+
+3.  Make sure your vimrc has these lines:
+
+        filetype plugin indent on
+
+        [...and then somewhere below that:]
+
+        au! BufRead,BufWrite,BufWritePost,BufNewFile *.org 
+        au BufEnter *.org call org #SetOrgFileType()
+
+    If you use VimOrganizer much you will also want to configure variables
+    and/or functions in your vimrc.  A sample vimrc has been included
+    in the download.
+
+    ALSO, you will want to install the plugins listed below.  VimOrganizer
+    will work without them, but some functionality will be unavailable.
+
+4.  Make sure you have [Calendar.vim](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52) installed.  
+    (Calendar.vim comes included in the /plugin/ directory as part of 
+    the Vim runtime in some Vim installs)
+
+Second, here are two plugins that you will want to download to 
+take advantage of Org-mode-like narrowing and link features that have been built
+into VimOrganizer: 
+
+5.  Christian Brabandt's [NarrowRegion plugin](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3075).
+    
+6.  The Utl ["Universal Text Linking" plugin](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=293).
+    
+
+If you are running on Windows another plugin will be useful:
+
+7.  If you're running on Windows then you may want to get Peter Rodding's 
+    [shell.vim plugin](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3123). 
+    It's not necessary, but if you have installed
+    it VimOrganizer will use it to ensure that you don't see
+    the annoying Windows command prompt window pop up when VimOrganizer 
+    calls out to Emacs/Org-mode.
+
+8.  FINALLY, install [Emacs](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/).  Not necessary for basic outlining, agenda
+searches, and other basic stuff, but it is necessary to do exports
+to html and PDF (which you will definitely want) as well as other
+advanced stuff.  Don't be afraid, install is simply and configuration
+is not hard.
+
+
+Vimorg uses a variable, `g:org_command_for_emacsclient`, to hold the
+command that will start the emacsclient on your system.  If you are
+not on Linux or OSX you will need to set this explicitly in your
+`.vimrc` file.
+
+Also, please note that emacsclient works slightly differently on
+Windows and Linux/OSX systems.  You must manually start 
+Emacs on Linux/OSX or calls to emacsclient will not work.  Please see
+`:h vimorg-emacs-setup`.
+
+For Emacs you should also install a hook function in the `.emacs` file,
+which will automatically make minor conversions when you export and/or
+open a VimOrganizer `.org` file in Emacs.You can find the text for that 
+function in the VimOrganizer help file:
+`:h vimorg-orgmode-conversion`
+
+If you're scared of Emacs, don't worry.  You don't ever need to edit
+a document using Emacs.  The most you will need to do is open up
+the `.emacs` configuration file (in Vim) to make some configuration
+changes, and that is required only if you're doing more advanced stuff.
+Having said, that, if there are problems it can sometimes be easiest to
+open Emacs and diagnose an issue there.  Still, you don't ever need
+to edit a document in Emacs, just think of Emacs as your "application
+server".
