Yes, true, but at least they call it so. Delphi Project File.

How to tell the compiler that it has to compile the DLL before it can
run the test program that uses this DLL?

If I compiled the DLL Delphi complained about a missing target
application, if I compiled the test program, the test program either
complained about the missing DLL or it used an old version.

Classical deadlock, I'd say. ;)

Surely. That's why I complained about it. :)
