Thanks Rob, I didn't know you could do that
recursive thing with Tdump. Are you referring to D7
and above with the platform SDK reference?
I have a question on creating custom runtime
packages:
I ran into a snag with the versions. I tried to
recompile just the rtl units my project uses instead
of the whole rtl for example, but it didn't like my
recompiled units, complaining that they are a
different version. Is there a way around this problem?
