Syntax highlighting for PL/1 code

install details

Create a directory structure like the following in your home directory:    ~/.vim/syntax/pl1.vim    ~/.vim/ftdetect/pl1.vim where "~/.vim" represents your private VIM configuration directory in your home directory (~ on unix like systems). Copy the file pl1.vim to ~/.vim/syntax/pl1.vim.  The other file (~/.vim/ftdetect/pl1.vim) should consist of the following two lines: au BufRead,BufNewFile *.pl1             set filetype=pl1 au BufRead,BufNewFile *.inc             set filetype=pl1 That's it!  You can now have syntax highlighting for PL/1 code! OPTION: I have difficulty reading the default color for VIM diffs.  In order to make the diff text more readable, I change the highlight color by placing the following 1-liner in my ~/.vimrc file: " Fix the difficult-to-read default setting for diff text " highlighting.  The bang (!) is required since we are overwriting the " DiffText setting. The highlighting for "Todo" also looks nice (yellow) " if you don't like the "MatchParen" (Aqua) diff color. highlight! link DiffText MatchParen   " Aqua diff coloring "   highlight! link DiffText Todo   " Yellow diff coloring
