Thanks Tony.
I don't have problem with Vim :) I'm doing research on system
manageability, and I'm experimenting how an app behaves on different
systems/different versions. Vim is sth I use every day, so I thought
starting from it.
make test is something I really appreciate, since I can run then
automatically.
I would also need older versions. How to/where from obtain them?
Cheers,
Nikola
For Windows, Steve Hall's download page
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
has a number of different patchlevels of 7.0, with a link to "older releases"
at the bottom.
Or you can get source distributions (going back as far as 3.0) in .tar.bz2
format from http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/ with additional (non-unix and/or
non-en-US) files going back to 5.0 (extra) and 6.0 (lang) in .tar.gz format at
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/ . As explained in
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm and
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm , I recommend
downloading the full (unix+extra+lang) sources regardless of whether or not
you're on Unix, whether or not you want English messages and menus.
Note that from time to time, bugs have been identified (and fixed) in the test
suite too, see the patch descriptions in http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/
and its subdirectories.
Best regards,
Tony.
