I didn't know of this file: after I asked on the list and I made the
first version of my file in 2004, I didn't look around anymore for a
syntax file. Last month I was writing a small input file in pamphlet
format and I was upset to not having syntax highlight for axiom code in
the "chunk" environment, so I managed to have it. After having done
this, I realized that I never submited it to the vim site: I checked
there and I found that there still was no axiom syntax file, so I
(uncorrectly...) assumed there was none available and then I decide to
submit mine. That's all.

In any case, there is no problem in having two different syntax files:

I think there is. People would have to waste time to test two options.
And it would certainly be easier for all if you could merge your vim
highlighting file with that on the axiom wiki. Would be a good idea to
upload all of that to your github account and do further development in
the public.

Just my 2 cents.

PS: Don't get me wrong. I appreciate if people contribute to the Axiom
Family in any way.

No problem.
I followed your suggestion and I had a look at the file on fricas page. It seems to me more sophisticated than mine. It also includes syntax for something else than axiom (C++, maybe?) so I don't think I can improve it.

I have only one remark: I used axiom to generate
categories/domains/packages/operators names. Are them exactly the same in fricas? I don't know this. From this point of view, maybe they can't be completely interchangeable.

Regards

Fabio

PS: I saw that you put a link to the vim page at the axiom-wiki page: I made the same at the vim page, where also I uploaded a cleaned up version of the file.
