Re: Fwd: [ELPA] New package: pspp-mode.el for PSPP/SPSS syntax highlighting

[John Darrington]

I've updated pspp-mode.el in the pspp repository so that it has the
format that lisp hackers like.

I've also added a long overdue change to make the keywords case
insenstive.

     Hi Stefan, hi Vasilij,
     
     thanks for your response regarding PSPP mode for emacs in GNU Elpa. I 
think we can simply copy pspp-mode.el to elpa.git and do the necessary 
modifications there. The keyword list comes from the SPSS command syntax which 
is also described here:

<https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Command-Index.html#Command-Index>
     
     SPSS is a commercial statistics software from IBM and PSPP is a GNU free 
software replacement for SPSS.
