Slightly better syntax highlighting for CLIPS in vim (in Ubuntu)

Problem

Syntax highlighting is so-so for .clp files. vim, my favorite code editor, detects these filetypes as jess, an unmaintained Rules Engine with a similar syntax to CLIPS.

Adding the jess.vim file to ~/.vim/after/syntax/ and the default.vim file to ~/.vim/colors in your Ubuntu system will provide slightly better highlighting when editing CLIPS files
