What do PPU files contain? symbolic links or hard links? See below:
" - The .TPU format doesn't contain symbolic links to other units, it contains hard links to particular offsets in the interface part of other .TPU files. If those other units change their interface, the .TPU is made obsolete and needs to be recompiled. - Any reasonable update beyond a minor bug fix release is likely to change the interface of some commonly used units like SYSTEM. This makes everything obsolete. - Borland chose to do things this way because it leads to drastic speedups in linking. Essentially all the work involved in linking a unit to the units it uses gets done during compile time, and doesn't need to be repeated again when the program is linked.
