   Vim 9 - but older releases preferred

   From: janis_papanagnou+ng@hotmail.com   
      
   In a new Linux system installation I'm presented a Vim 9 version.   
   It seems to be completely incompatible with the various releases   
   that I used before.   
      
   When I was looking on the net for some older release I got always   
   directed to version 9, though. (I'm obviously missing something?)   
      
   Can someone provide a link to some Vim release where modelines and   
   all the other things work as in former (pre-Lua or whatever) times?   
   Some source code tar-ball would be okay. - Thanks.   
      
   Or is there some other simple way to make Vim 9 behave like earlier   
   versions concerning the configuration files and user settings?   
      
   Janis   
      
   PS: How did other Vim users perceive those changes in Vim releases?   
   (I'm just curious.)
