As far as I know, this tool is Delphi itself. Delphi 5 can save dfms
either as something internal, either (option 'text dfm') as text, which
might be compartible with lfm format. I can't say exactly.
That's right. Delphi can save dfm as text and binary. The lfm files are compatible to text dfm.
The dfm binary format is used internally by the fcl and the lcl. The lazarus lrs files are simply binary form data (=binary dfm) turned into lazarus resource format.
So, you can use dfm files. But of course the LCL still lacks some components of the VCL.
The Lazarus IDE will eventually support the automatic conversion of delphi units, forms and projects. (dfm2lfm, change uses clause, add initialization include)
