[Lazarus] Delphi .res file missing however the forms are created in code, hence no .dfm/.res file exists

[Peter Williams]

Hi Mattias and All,

I'm sending you a lot of small Lazarus files related to this problem
I'm having. ;-)))

I hope I'm not sending too many files to you. They're only small ;-)

------------------ file "FrameUnit.pas -------------------------
unit FrameUnit;

{$MODE Delphi}

interface

uses
  Forms, Controls, Classes, StdCtrls, LResources;

type
  TTabFrame = class(TFrame)
    Memo1: TMemo;
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

implementation


initialization
  {$i FrameUnit.lrs}

end.
