Delphi Project File. Rename it .pas. You can compile it on the command line, or alternatively, File | Open | Select type as "Pascal project". "Delphi Project File" is purely a shell concept; it distinguishes "program | library" from "unit", allowing the user to double click on the correct file from Explorer. > How to tell the compiler that it has to compile the DLL before it can > run the test program that uses this DLL? > [...] Compile them in either order. The compiler doesn't need either one to finish the compilation; all you need to do is compile both. Because Delphi compiles so fast, it isn't worth the trouble to do anything more than stick two compilation commands in a batch file: @echo off dcc32 dcc32 YMMV, of course. -- Barry -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
