    This option is used to select the format used to save your form (in binary or text format).

    If you use the text DFM option, the form (dfm file) will be stored in a text format like so 

    object Form1: TForm1
  Left = 451
  Top = 290
  Caption = 'Form38'
  ClientHeight = 300
  ClientWidth = 635
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'Tahoma'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
end
