And I wonder about the Windows.a and Windows.o file, do you think borland uses
some
magic tricks there or do they actually just treat the windows.tpu/windows.dcu
file
just like any other dcu file. I guess I will look at the DCU file and report
back
with more information, but it is hard to say whether they place the entire dcu
file
into memory or whether they have some other magic tricks up their sleeves.
