I just check in .pas, .dfm, .dpr and .bpg - when a directory full
of source code is sorted by type, these all group together quite
conveniently!

BTW, make sure you're creating your forms in text format (rather
than the old binary DFM format). I don't know if this is now the
default in Delphi, but I think I had to tell my version of Delphi
to do this.

Finally, anyone out there who is not using some sort of revision
control system, START TODAY! There's no excuse not to, even if
you're a single developer. I like CS-RCS (it's free, Google it),
which IIRC comes with a nice beginners tutorial.
