Interesting. Yes, I remember the .tpu and .dcu filename extensions. IIRC, .tpu stood for turbo pascal unit, and .dcu may have meant delphi compiled unit, not

Interesting. Yes, I remember the .tpu and .dcu filename extensions. IIRC, .tpu stood for turbo pascal unit, and .dcu may have meant delphi compiled unit, not sure of the latter. I don't remember the .int extension, but it would have been there, of course, if you say so. What was the use of the .int file?

It was literally the unit with implementation part just missing. Sort of a header that you can just read(?). Idk if it played a role in compilation, probably not. But some commercial libraries packaged them as well. Here, look at this random repo: https://github.com/keskival/turbo-pascal-experiments/tree/master/UNITS https://github.com/keskival/turbo-pascal-experiments/tree/ma... -- few int files at the end of a list. This page mentions a few ints without any context: https://comp.lang.pascal.borland.narkive.com/1B3WeJkX/rebuild-of-turbo-pascal-exe-missing-tpu-modules https://comp.lang.pascal.borland.narkive.com/1B3WeJkX/rebuil... This guy seems to package ints for documentation purposes: https://www.wrotniak.net/hplx/lxtpgr.html https://www.wrotniak.net/hplx/lxtpgr.html Man this is nostalgic... T-T
