Thanks for all the information. I appreciate it. I guess there is no
real need to use XIBs since I do not have Subverions repos of my
projects. I use snapshots and zip files. A little difficult to manage,
but it works ok for this one man show.
Thanks again.

I know this may be a stupid question but I thought I would ask.
What is the difference between an XIB and a NIB. I am migrating my
project to Leopard and using the new Inteface Builder. Is XIB
preferred on Leopard rather than NIB? Should I just use NIB files
because of compatibility issue with Tiger?
XIBs are flat files rather than being a bundle. This makes it easier
for SCM systems to deal with. When you compile your app, the XIB is
compiled into a NIB file for inclusion in your app. This means you
can use XIBs and still compile for Tiger.
The compiled NIB that is included in the app bundle is no longer
editable in Interface Builder and is much smaller than the
equivalent XIB or legacy NIB file.
