I assume you mean Xcode 2.5. Are you saying that Xcode 2.5 and Interface
Builder 2.5.6 will still run on Snow Leopard? Can we install them alongside
3.2 in the same way that we ran the 2.5 and 3.x versions on Leopard?

It's great that Xcode 3.2 can still share projects with earlier Xcode
versions back to 2.4. The setting to accomplish this is named "Xcode
2.4-compatible" (Project settings, General tab).
Unfortunately, Interface Builder is not so compatible. I can import my IB
2.5 .nib files into IB 3.2. But if they are edited in IB 3.2, they will not
open in IB 2.5.
Is there a work-around for this, other than not editing nibs in IB 3.2?
I would like to move all my Xcode 2.5 projects into 3.2 so I could take
advantage of the nifty new IDE features. But I occasionally need to move my
project files to PPC Macs for debug builds. These Macs are running Tiger
(10.4) and Xcode 2.5.
