It can convert DFM->text and text->DFM. Why I mentioned this stuff is
because it should be really simple to adapt the sources to create
DFM->XML converters and so on.
I'm talking about the implementations of the following procedures:
  procedure ObjectBinaryToText(Input, Output: TStream);
  procedure ObjectTextToBinary(Input, Output: TStream);

  procedure ObjectResourceToText(Input, Output: TStream);
  procedure ObjectTextToResource(Input, Output: TStream);

They are defined in the Classes units.
The source can be found in fcl/inc/classes.inc
