Yeah I realize that is what you meant. My question was with regard to
the new Delphi text form of the DFM. As reported Delphi 5 saves DFM
information as text now and not binary as before. Does the above
routines take this into account? Since I haven't seen the new Delphi 5
text version of the DFM I can't say for sure whether the new text
version matches the same output of the above routines. If it does then
it is a mute point. If it is different then is it possible that we could
make these routines read either the binary or text version and convert
them to the same text output?
