At that time I rejected lrs because binary data where stored as ascii, escaping non ascii chars as #iii. The result was a a huge file. I settled for the windows .res format which is supported by fpc cross platform and stores binary data as binary data. A minor disadvantage is the custom build script using windres to compile the resources on non windows systems. Windres can be difficult to find on some systems (typically found in mingw cross buildutils) or has to be made from source.
