Weird! Do you have a file t-vimsyntax.tex in the same folder as the
file where you're running the sample? An alternative is to place the
file under [texmf]/tex/context/third/t-vimsyntax.tex and then run
"[sudo] mktexlsr".

But in any case you need to have 2context.vim in the same folder
(there is no support for an arbitrary path of the script yet).

It has to be *t-vimsyntax.tex*, not *.text*, if that's the case. But
if I try to rename the file, I get "module vimsyntax not found", while
you get "no macros found in module vimsyntax".

While googling through the archive I've found the following message:

Which version of TeX/ConTeXt are you using? (Perhaps Hans has changed
something in the meantime, to make that work again.) Are you using
Gerben's i-Installer? In that case and if you have a chance, can you
please test the new TeXLive-based distribution?

(I didn't know that 8-char was still a limitation nowadays.)
