Hi Gary,
thank you for your help! :)
I am simply not allowed to install anything regardless
of the prevelidges I have or better: not have...
Thats the reason, why the vim is that old.
I will try what you have written. If I will get further
or different problems, I will contact this friendly
list :) again...
w!
Best regards and have a nice weekend!
