How can we force TP to ignore the >error? We've tried touch - no luck. Turbo Pascal units are version dependent, so if the units are, say, 5.0 units, and you are using 5.5, then there is not much you can do except either change the compiler version, or get the unit's sources. This is one of the (few) real grievances against Turbo Pascal upgrade policy. ...................................................................

Is the format of .tpu files publically available. I was thinking of writing a utility that would need to examine .tpu files when the source was unavailable. Thanks in advance.
