Quartus missing archives for vwf simulation

[Altera_Forum]

Altera seems to have eliminated their "Archive Downloads" so my students can't find version 9.1 sp2 to get the Vector Waveform File (.vwf) capability. This was a great entry-level simulator only available prior to version 10.0. 

Does anyone know where we can find the downloadable Quartus version 9.1?

Mostly use of latest versions of the tools is recommended. How about using ModelSim-Altera free version and generating (not writing... just need little additions to it) test benches within Quartus... for simulation..  

I know what you are saying ... I also started from the same but at the end for most of the real life industrial designs we have to go for it, so why not from the beginning focusing to the standard procedure.. where ModelSim-Altera is much better than the other one.  Regards-

the wave editor has been added to the imminent Quartus release

When you say "imminent Quartus release ", I am running the new Quartus II version 11.1 WebEdition and I don't see the ability to create Vector waveform files.  

Also, the ability to download "Archive Quartus Versions " has been removed from the Altera site.

For Universities (and people with very simple simulation needs), see here (http://www.altera.com/education/univ/software/qsim/unv-qsim.html) for a stand-alone version of the old simulator.

sorry for the misunderstanding, i was thinking of the wave editor davka pointed out

I've installed Quartus version 11.1 and the university programs Qsim. Built a new project, compiled it, etc. When I run Qsim it says Simulation Sucessful, then fires up Quartus in the background. Quartus says "read only file" (which the instructions say I can ignore.) then a quartusII error pops up that reads":

Sorry, I found the problem, I need to run Qsim on a computer for which I have administative rights. (It works fine on my home computer.) 

So, back to my original issue: it's too bad that vwf creation and waveform simulation has been eliminated. Instead I will have my intro digital students use QSim.   FYI: I have created several youtube podcasts on using Quartus and VHDL at: http://www.youtube.com/user/billkleitz#g/c/7bdc4877ac756557

This is by far the cleanest way to create VWF files and run simulations without creating testbenches for modelsim. Version 9.1 lacks support for some of the latest high-power altera products, but for university education it is more than enough!!
