  pov 3.5 syntax files for vim? (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

Has anyone got an updated pov.vim syntax file to reflect the changes in 3.5?
I had thought of rewriting the old one but with 528 keywords and innumerable
ways of catching erroneous syntax it looks way beyond my capabilities.
BTW sorry if I've offended any emacs users out there by mentioning the
v*-word

I'm still using 5.7 but, no problem, this will give me a start for rewriting
my own file.
I suppose I could upload vim 6.x if I mess up the conversion, but at least
I'll get some much-needed learning experience doing it the hard way.
Many thanx for the link

Have just finished coverting pov.vim (for v6.x) to v5.7 and it works!
I am truly amazed at my own ability :-)
Thanx again for the help, Safari.
