XIB is the "modern" format for saving IB files in. An XIB is
"compiled" to a NIB when you build your application (a type of NIB
that can't be opened for modification by IB). This "compiled" NIB is
support on operating systems before Leopard. XIB however can only be
opened by IB 3.0 (or later) and IB 3.0 requires Leopard.
