+" Vim syntax file
+" Language:	Oracle config files (.ora) (Oracle 8i, ver. 8.1.5)
+" Maintainer:	Sandor Kopanyi <sandor.kopanyi@mailbox.hu>
+" Url:		<->
+" Last Change:	2003 May 11
+
+" * the keywords are listed by file (sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, etc.)
+" * the parathesis-checking is made at the beginning for all keywords
+" * possible values are listed also
+" * there are some overlappings (e.g. METHOD is mentioned both for
+"   sqlnet-ora and tnsnames.ora; since will not cause(?) problems
+"   is easier to follow separately each file's keywords)
+
+" Remove any old syntax stuff hanging around, if needed
