Thanks, Ken, I appreciate the info.

My goal is a syntax-highliting text editor for iPad, with remote sync to a UN*X back end. I've tried most of the iPad text editor type apps on the app store, and some are close, but none are close enough. I will eventually try to add some fancier features such as feeding the text into a syntax checker, and adding in-line error display - so a CoreText enginer underneath is probably a good starting point.

I will most likely release the app under an open source license, and hopefully get enough interest from fellow developers to keep features coming in. I am honestly surprised at how little there is in this area for the iPad now.
