I assume (after some searching) that it is this program you are talking about?

I use Vim 6.0 and there you can turn on highlighting of the standard
types, but I don't use it and it is not on by default. You must decide
yourself if you want to add it. More info here: http://www.dwheeler.com/vim/

But please upload the highlighting to the ConTEXT site so that you get
Ada on the list of supported languages. Especially as there is about to
come a version 1.0 of the editor. Also ConTEXT look like a nice editor
for Windows environment where I can now (after having to program in
windows) can understand why people ask for IDEs.

It would be nice to make a small page where one can collect useful
programs for developing Ada on different platforms. I mean so that
people can choose which they are most confortable with.

Prehaps templates would also be nice? That is sth I would like to add to
Vim when I can find some time to figure out how to do it :-).
