How to

• Re-add a lost form to a project:
  • create a new form with a temporary name
  • save the project
  • delete the 2 form-related files it creates
  • rename the files for the form you want to load to that temporary name
  • (untested) re-save the form under its permanent name

Errors

• no FPC sources (solution: install package "fpc-source")
• no valid package file (.lpk) was found
