vi user?  see .sig.  :-)

This is one thing that is nice about Windows; the
config-file-generator-equivalent does do some syntax checking.  There
is no real equivalent for Linux, because most people prefer directly
editing the config files.  But there is "dotfile."

If you're gonna write it up anyway, consider checking to see if
there's a dotfile generator for PPP.  If so, see if it will take an
existing config and let you edit it.  (This is possibly a lot of work
chasing around the Web, I don't have an URL to hand, so "not this
millenium" is certainly an acceptable reply.)

dotfile is a program which takes a syntax-generator file and then
queries the user.  The output is a file with a name like .bashrc,
.profile, .emacs, .fvwm2rc, ....  It's mostly user-oriented, but I
think it does some system config files too.

I don't know where to find it except on Debian, sorry.

Put this on the projects list:  syntax checkers for _all_ config files.
