That is also installed in most recent versions of MPW (past two years
at least).  I believe the syntax coloring in both MPW & BBEdit is
based off something called MPWTechnicolor (I have the original).  I
added more keywords for both Fotran 77 and Fortran 90 but never got
to doing anything else, though everything except Basic is already
built in.

However, in my opinion they don't come close to what is in the FB^3
editor.  Now if I could get a Fortran 77/90 language module for the
FB^3 editor that would be great--it must be based on keywords, I
haven't looked to see where they are stored.
