XIB is the "modern" format for saving IB files in. An XIB is
"compiled" to a NIB when you build your application (a type of NIB
that can't be opened for modification by IB). This "compiled" NIB is
support on operating systems before Leopard. XIB however can only be
opened by IB 3.0 (or later) and IB 3.0 requires Leopard.

I read all that. I was just checking in to confirm. NIB files have
been so finicky throughout the years. I just want to make sure I
don't get burned converting to XIB.
So, it looks like XIB is the way to go. Anyone have any "real life
experience" with 100s of nibs/xibs? any gotchas? I guess I will find
out first hand!
I've frequently found that the Xcode (2.x, I'm currently using 2.5)
build system doesn't always notice changes to NIBs and that therefore
it sometimes builds apps from newer sources without copying the newer
NIB into the bundle. I wouldn't be surprised to find that's fixed in
3.x (I haven't used it earnestly enough to find that out), but I would
definitely expect the XIB-compiling process to get that correct.
Cheers,
Graham.
