As I have cautioned in this group before,

DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T
use 2.0 IB in NS 3.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This combination represents the worst of both worlds: the nib files you  
create would not be in the 3.0 format (nib as directory), and the 3.0  
typedstreams are not backwards compatible to NS 2.x. I guess they would  
load OK into 3.0 runtime, but it's an odd combo.

(Sorry for the shouting. I once lost a weekend's work this way, because of  
the typedstream incompatibility, and I'm still not over the post-traumatic  
stress syndrome. Although the drugs have been helping a lot.)
