I edit in vim, and it syntax highlights rather nicely.

When I run the above (or Phil's version) it just comes up plain.

If I first pipe the output to "t.diff" then open that file in
vim, it does syntax highlight.

Anyone know if vim can be forced to syntax highlight when loading
from stdin?

If worst comes to worst, I can create the file and load it in vim
all within a function or something.

BTW, thanks for the very fast response.
