Delphi5 introduced the capability of storing its DFMs in a textual
format(*). "Binary" (such as a bitmap) object are stored in base64 (or
something similar), simpler values in plain text. The format does not
offer any kind of comment, so no, it's not possible to use expandable
keywords. And the D5 parser expects CRLFs, otherwise it raises a "line
too long" exception. So, no svn:keywords and svn:eol-style=CRLF.

It something like:

    object Panel3: TPanel
      Left = 0
      Top = 0
      Width = 85
      Height = 63
      Align = alLeft
      BevelOuter = bvNone
      Caption = ' '
      TabOrder = 1
      object BitBtn1: TBitBtn
        Left = 7
        Top = 6
        Width = 72
        Height = 53
        Caption = 'Partiti!'
        TabOrder = 0
        OnClick = BitBtn1Click
        Glyph.Data = {
          76010000424D7601000000000000760000002800000020000000100000000100
          040000000 .... 3333333}
        Layout = blGlyphTop
        NumGlyphs = 2
      end
    end

ciao, lele.

(*) There's been a time when I used a combination of CVS
wrappers+dosemu+D3 convert.exe to automagically store my DFM in
textual form *within* the repository kept under *real* OS, translating
on-the-fly to/from binary and text representation at checkout/checkin
time.... Luckily, that's gone ;-)
