Oh, one other change you’ll have to make for Xcode 3 is to stick a declaration for the -convertToTIFF: method in the header file; otherwise Interface Builder probably won’t see it.

As for main(), there’s rarely anything in there in a Cocoa app. Typically it’s just one line that calls NSApplicationMain() and returns the result. The framework handles all the actual initialization stuff.
