OPL and Vim

This is getting really esoteric now ! What is Vim I can hear you asking ? Vim is a text editor based on the Unix editor vi. All Unix users will know vi, and some will even love it. Vi is on every Unix box in the world and always to hand.

Vim is a public domain enhancement of vi, and incorporates so many new features, that it insults Vim to simply say "it's an enhanced vi" !

Here is a short list of Vim features that extend vi :

• 1000 levels of undo
• Color syntax highlighting
• Online hyperhelp
• Command line recall/edit
• Filename completion
• Visual editing
• Split editing panes
• Menus

Vim is available for most platforms including Windows 95, most Unices, Mac, OS2 etc etc.

Anyway the reason for this page, apart from the fact that being a programmer I love Vim is that I have written a syntax color set for OPL in Vim ! Add this file to your Vim configuration and whenever you edit OPL in Vim, it will be syntactically colored.
