[lazarus] New Colorizer

[Data Vortex]

maybe you can use a TMemo for displaying the text (like XX lines) and have
a series of TString behind that would hold the file content (regarless od
the size, the memo is probably never going to need to show VERY large piece
of code (it will have to know about it) but for 'visible piece of code', it
will never be a lot (probably never more than 1000 lines at once). You just
need to be able to show a 'window' on the text, so just show that in the
memo..

(i hope i'm not generating garbage)

Is that what you are looking for ?
