> ERROR CREATING FORM: Invalid stream format.

Probably the form was designed using Delphi5 with forms saved as text
(the default when you install Delphi5). You can verify this by
opening the form with notepad or some other text editor.

Does Delphi4 come with a convert.exe program?

If so rename the .dfm to .txt and then execute:
convert xxxxx.txt

to have the file translated back into binary format as xxxxx.dfm
