syntax file for multilog

[Jorge Almeida]

I noticed that log files produced by multilog are colored when opened
with vim. This happens with "saved" files (with names like
@4000000042b2ecc214904e1c.s) but not with the current file (named, you
guessed, "current"). So I assume that vim knows what to do based on the
suffix ".s". Now, in /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/ there is no such thing
as a file named s.vim (I'm using gentoo linux, BTW). On the other hand,
the file named "current" is the one for which color syntax would be more
usefull.
Anyone knows where this coloring came from? And can I force vim to use
it with "current"?

HEH. :)

The syntax coloring is assembler coloring (run ":echo &ft" to check for
yourself, "asm" comes from "Assembler Source Language"). No idea why vim
guessed assembler for those files. Probably something to do with
beginning with an @ symbol.

You can force vim to think all files named "current" are assembler files
by adding the following to your ~/.vimrc:

    autocmd BufEnter current set ft=asm

Nope. I copied current to @current, and no difference.

Done.
