Thank you for taking the time to fix this. It now appears to load into
Interface Builder OK, although it says "25 inconsistencies in the
document were found and repaired. Please save the document" and then
"non integral rectangles found. Document adjusted. Please save." It
seems to load correctly despite the errors though, so that's good
enough for me. Thanks again.
