I've started trying to move my carbon apps over to nibs, but have

I think you'd get better answers for this on carbon-development, but
I might be able to help out a little....
1) I have dialogs with images. If the images are in .rsrc files,
then they show up in IB (and the project is running.) I'd like to
do away with .rsrc files, though. I've included tiff versions in
Xcode, but they don't show up in IB. Am I missing something? (note
this answers an old question of mine.)
I don't think the Carbon picture controls handle tiffs. That'd be a
nice feature, though; I'd suggest filing a bug report.
2) Custom cursors -- is there a way to add these to nibs? Or a
specific cursor file format I can use? I can't seem to find either
this information or format ...
I don't think Carbon nibs support them. Just build them into your
project's .rsrc file and load them from there.
3) Is there any way to duplicate ModalDialog function with nib
based-dialogs? Constructing the event driven version isn't that
hard, but I have a lot of dialogs!
Use RunAppModalLoopForWindow and QuitAppModalLoopForWindow.
At this point, as long as I am in carbon, it doesn't look like it's
possible to do away with .rsrc completely ... am I wrong here?
I don't think you are. But when you find things that require that
you use resources, I'd suggest filing enhancement requests asking for
new ways to do those tasks.
