true if the format of the stream is recognized
A TResources object invokes this method when it is searching for a reader able to read a stream, passing that stream as the aStream parameter.
aStream position is already correctly set: the reader must start to read from there.
This method should read the minimum amount of information needed to recognize the contents of a stream as a valid format: it usually means reading a magic number or a file header.
