There are two Pascal modes in Emacs 21.3 (perhaps in 21.2 too): pascal.el and delphi.el . There was also another pascal.el with delphi
I've seen reports of delphi.el having pretty much the same problems as pascal.el, though on a much lower scale; but, yeah, I should try that. :D
I was looking only for Delphi extensions and e.g. fontification in delphi.el looks quite good. However browsing overloaded constructs is
Actually, I'm looking mainly for support for Extended Pascal's additions to the language.
I only know enough LISP to be able to edit my .emacs file (and then some); I'm nothing near the level of expertise needed to write an Emacs language mode of this scale.
If you only want to fontify some more keywords, just search for the keywords list in the existing modes and add yours. You do not have to know any Elisp for that :-).
Oh, no; I'd also like proper indentation. Hitting C-q TAB gets rather old, rather quickly.
