Many thanks for the hint. My concern was whether this is possible in  
general ;)
Regarding to the static numbers of columns, I could live with it, but  
a nib file contains three 'simple' plist files. Maybe it would be  
possible to modify these files at runtime. I don't know whether it  
works but at least I'll try it ;-O

Thanks,
