cream for Debian
--------------------

'cream' is an addon to the GUI variants of vim (gvim, kvim). You can start it
by running 'cream'. The wrapper script will decide automatically if kvim or a
vim-* package providing gvim is installed and run it.  All common vim options
are still available on the command line.

The formerly used console mode (running 'cream' from a text terminal compared
to 'gcream' and 'kcream') introduced in version 0.29 is deprecated. The
upstream author states [1] that due to limitations of common terminals and key
mapping collisions cream is only supported in the X11 GUIs.

This package either needs kvim (available as a package) or gvim (a virtual
package provided by all vim-* packages that provide the 'gvim' binary).

In /etc/cream you will find two configuration files:
 - cream-conf.vim
   Changes variables that influence how cream is loaded (early config).
 - cream-user.vim
   System-wide configuration options (late config).
