Stock UIViewController can't be set as an IBOutlet?

You're doing it the wrong way around. The nib contains the UIViewController which is synthesized on nib load. The nib also contains the UIView which is linked to the view property of the UIViewController .

If you could post it it would go a long way to helping solve the reason for you app throwing sigkill.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
