[Geany-devel] COBOL syntax highlighting and filetype support

[Lex Trotman]

Hi Seth,

Since you top posted I've lost the thread.

 Have you submitted a patch that successfully integrates either your
own or the scintilla lexer into geany? Including the filetype code & a
filetypes.??? file (what is the extension for cobol?)

Cheers
Lex
