A minimap for vim - Works on 7.3 - Uses only vimscript - Doesn't require compiled with lua/python - Works on DOS ( and Win9X) - Doesn't use braille characters. So that it can work on older machines.

Why? Because I thought it would be a fun challenge. I have a win 98 machine. I have Vim 7.3 installed. It has not been compiled with lua/python. I want a minimap.

It's been fun to find clever compromises to make it work. I've almost completed the project. (at least it works on my modern computer, I'm sure when I transfer it to my Win98 I'll find I'm using some modern vimscript functions and then I have to invent fun workarounds again).

If you want a good dev experience on a Win98, I highly recommend Vim or if you don't vim, then notepad++. Vim is better though.
