   Vim syntax file for Algol 68   
   28 Feb 26 16:50:07

   Meanwhile I've done a thorough rewrite of the original Vim syntax file!   
   Keywords have been cleaned up, fixed or removed, and many more keywords   
   that are supported by the Genie interpreter have been added, based on   
   what the source files from the current Genie release (algol68g-3.10.10,   
   2026-02-03) have defined (since not all Genie features are documented).   
   The match mechanism has been introduced to appear now almost everywhere   
   to significantly reduce the syntax file size and persistently solve the   
   sub-string highlighting issue that was inherited from the old original   
   version.   
      
   This version carries the implicit version number 0.3x and could now   
   become the base for an official version 0.4 for the Vim repositories.   
      
   Currently you can find it [only] here:   
   http://algol68.gridbug.de/algol68.vim   
   http://algol68.gridbug.de/algol68.vim_README   
      
   Future updates will consider new functions that make their way into   
   the Genie interpreter - that is, if I'm getting aware of any changes   
   (in the past they haven't been specifically announced). And there's   
   still a set of functions from a supported external math library that I   
   also intend to add soon.   
      
   I've visually inspected the syntax highlighting on a few dozen source   
   files and it appears to work fine. But since Algol 68 and specifically   
   the Genie system supports a plethora of features I cannot guarantee   
   that everything is there and works perfectly. So if you happen to find   
   any issues I'd appreciate hints (per email or newsgroup post).   
      
   Thanks.
