OICTableView Version 1.0 for OpenStep 4.1,4.2/Mach and EOF 2.x
==============================================================
Juergen Moellenhoff (jm@oic.de), 25 May 1997

Description
===========
These classes are part of a bigger project and I thought that it is maybe useful for other people, too.

OICTableView is a subclass of the NSTableView. With this class it is possible to change the sort order of the TableColumns - in the running program or in the IB test mode - with a simple mouse click. I included a simple inspector for the InterfaceBuilder so that you can change the default sort order and the data Cell (NSTextFieldCell, NSImageCell, NSComboBoxCell) of the TableColumns. There is also an inspector for the data Cell itself included. Btw. this project is also an example for an inspector via the class IBInspectorManager.

Sorry, but in the moment I'm to busy to write documentation :-), but I guess the classes are easy to handle :-). The source code is included, so feel free to write the documentation ;-).
