I can't think that's the reason. D1 thru D5 (or D7) saved dfm files in binary format. So there was no readability to speak of. Also the only people that actually look (and care) about the dfm/lfm files are the IDE designers. Normal developers almost never look inside those files (unless something major screwed up - in which case they should have made backups). In the days of binary dfm files they were screwed either way - no manual fixing of the files. > AFAIR it exists since October. I think this copy is from early to mid 2009. I know, it's time I upgrade. :) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
