nibs are just a directory containing some number of files. Back in the
day, the number would be m + n, where n would be the number of images
in your nib, but these days n is usually 0. In practice, m is usually
3, classes.nib, info.nib, and objects.nib.
These days, I believe the only one your app actually needs to run is
the object.nib. So if you removed the other two, your app would run,
but no one would be able to open that nib up in IB. I believe IB wants
to see at least a classes.nib file in there (which could be minimal -
take a look at one) as well as objects.nib.
Remember that essentially all a nib file is a serialized version of the
objects in it. That's as complicated as you want to make it.
You should also take a look at nibtool - you may be able to salvage
your nib. Do a man nibtool for info.
Good luck - few things more annoying in Cocoa (and back in NeXTSTEP)
than a nib file you can't open, especially if you made it...

It seems that my nib has decided it's done. It doesn't want to be
worked on any longer.
When I open the nib, I get a dialog telling me it is read only. The
file permissions disagree with that statement, but what do they know.
I used the save as, and when I opened the new file, it decided to play
hard-to-edit as well.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
