It is not enough, the styles array contained the text value for each of 
the types[] entry values. the types entry values were an index into the 
array

styles looked like this

Styles As String[] = ["Background", "Normal", "Selection", "Alternate", 
"Highlight", "CurrentLine", "Added", "Removed", "Error", "Comment", 
"Documentation", "Keyword",
   "Function", "Operator", "Symbol", "Number", "String", "Breakpoint", 
"Current", "Datatype", "Preprocessor", "Escape", "Label", "Constant", 
"Class", "Id", "Element",
   "Property", "Pseudo", "Rule", "Important", "File", "Header", 
"Position", "Markup", "Attribute", "Value", "Entity", "WebMarkup", 
"WebComment", "WebArgument"]

There is nothing equivalent now.

I have code that does this print highlight.styles[types[9]]

which prints 'comment'

My  programs analyze other programs and produce reports using this 
information.

And rely on the text from the styles array that was part of the original 
eval.highlight class
