re: TDump. Right. I understood what you were saying. re: packages. I haven't modified anything, I just want to repackage the units that my project uses to exlude the unused units. (just to make sure we're talking about the same thing: create a new package, add RTL to the Requires section, then right click, and open. Now, in the new window, right click on package name and "save". It will prompt you to save it with a new name. You can then save it and compile it (it will compile if you've included all implicit units as well). It creates new compiled dcu's too, so the source can be recompiled. I thought it would work when I got this far, but then my app. complained about the versions of the new units when I swapped my package for RTL. The problem doesn't seem to be caused by anything peculiar to Borland products, just with their versioning feature. I think it would happen to 3rd party packages too.. although I haven't tested it yet. Dave

That part is manual. Just invoke Tdump on each of the modules that it lists for your program.

No, I'm refering to the actual software-development kit. *Not* the help file. (Definitely not the help file that comes with anything Borland ever released!) I mean the headers, and the build tools, and lib files, and all the hundreds of megabytes you can download from Microsoft. > I have a question on creating custom runtime packages: > > I ran into a snag with the versions.

Is there a way around this problem? By "RTL units," are you talking about Borland's source files, the ones that appear in Rtl70.bpl? If so, don't recompile those. Doing that means you can't use Borland's run-time packages, or any other packages compiled against those packages. You'll instead need to recompile *everything* to use your custom-built package. If you're recompiling packages that are meant to be recompiled (which excludes just about anything you got from Borland), then you should be able to do it without the cascading recompile if all you've changed is the implementation section of a unit. If you delete or move anything in the interface section of a unit, then any units that use that unit will probably need to be recompiled, too. -- Rob ----------------------------------------------------- Home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/delphi-en/ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Yahoo!
