Depending on what controls you have on the form, they are necessary.
Not every form will require them. However, some forms will have
controls that save their "settings" in these frx files. The control
will have an offset value for it's settings in the frm file. This
tells VB where to look for that control's settings in the frx file.
It seems to me that MS could have done the same thing with a
text-based file (ini, xml, etc), encoding anything that needed to
actually be binary. But hey, what do I know... :-)
