- This makes it sound like you are distributing COMPILED units. You could
- release the source to unit 1 and the compiled .TPU to unit 2 (the one you
- are reluctant to distribute) and all would be well (as long as your users
- use EXACTLY the same version of TP).

- Why doesn't Turbo Pascal produce a OBJ file? Does Borland Pascal? I
- think this is a really serious drawback. (I think I know the
- advantages of a TPU--dynamic code deletion etc).
