Interesting! I haven't gotten around to purchasing a copy of Delphi 5
yet so I wasn't aware that they had gone to a text format.

Well XML IS a text format. It is just a structured format. You will
still be able to go in a edit files with any standard text editor you
just need to be sure to adhere to the structure of the code which I am
sure you must with the Delphi DFM files as well.

It will be a simple matter to convert any Delphi DFM to our XML based
LFM file.   :-)
