The .nib files that Interface Builder creates are just packages that contain
XML files. You can open the packages in Finder and then open the
classes.nib, objects.nib, and info.nib file contained within via the text

The Carbon API's allow you to create controls completely via code; This
would allow you to bypass the .nib's altogether.
