NovaProg

This is an extension for VS Code which recognizes NovaProg as a programming language and provides syntax highlighting and limited diagnostics for input files (.inp). The extension is not a part of the NovaProg package, and Aas-Jakobsen does not take any responsibility for the extension working as intendend, nor does Aas-Jakobsen fix bugs and errors on demand.
