of those painful transitions for you...
it is probably possible to do, with significant difficulties.
Carbon nibs are bundles, with the real payload saved as an xml file
IB [version bundled with xcode 2.x] can also save nibs in a format
where the principal file is
XML-encoded.
With the latest IB, they can also be converted to xib, a flat file xml
format.
So it is a matter of writing and applying a suitable xsl stylesheet
file.
Writing such a stylesheet is however, far from trivial.

No better method?

Hi:
There is no way to automatically convert a Carbon Interface Builder
Document into a Cocoa Interface Builder Document.
You are going to need to recreate all of your Carbon dialogues in
Cocoa.
By hand.

I don't care about connections, I'll wire them up myself. I'm
just hoping
to avoid repeating the layout work.
The Cocoa nib uses binary file objects.nib which is different
with the xml
file used byCarbon nib . I can't find any way to convert it with
either
Interface Builder or nibtool.
Does anyone know of an automated method for doing the
conversion? Or
method to create Cocoa NIB without using Interface Builder?
I found two related questions here but no more answers..
