Fortran 77 comment syntax highlighting not working in vim

I have code written in Fortran 77 and I read it using vim. The code is written in such a way that the comments are in lines starting with c, as is customary in Fortran 77. However, vim does not recognize them and therefore uses coloring syntax, which makes the code very difficult to read! How can I overcome this?

I saw that there is a message with the same problem . I read the answers and tried the various solutions that were suggested:

  • add let fortran_have_tabs=1to .vimrc

  • add

    syn match fortranComment excludenl "^[!c*].*$" contains=@fortranCommentGroup,@spell
syn match fortranComment excludenl "!.*$" contains=@fortranCommentGroup,@spell

    to.vimrc

but they do not work for me. Does anyone know why? Am I mistaken somewhere? Otherwise, does anyone have any other suggestion?
