I realise this has little weight since all I can do is talk about it right now, but I think a vanilla C approach would kill more birds, as you could then use it rather easily in C, C++ and Objective C without further effort. It wouldn't have class and implementation files, but adding those would be a different layer as I understand. My own project hasn't gone near the full text engine for nearly a year, so I haven't been able to make any progress on anything Lucy. :( Something is likely better than nothing.... Cheers, ast
