I just started a loader for the XIB format. Seems to load the one test file I tried pretty well, but wont do anything useful with the loaded data :-) It would surely help when somebody with more knowledge on NIB loading could have a look at that code. Greg, have you got the time for that? Cheers Fred _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
