INTRODUCTION

Several times I had to write the source of a tpu, because it was not available. I started to look for some documentation about TPU files and I found INTRFC from D.J. Murdoch, that works with TP 6.0 tpu files (see history below). Because I needed to dump TPU files from BP 7.0 and I was wondering how tpu files are encoded, I upgraded it to BP 7.0 files. I also fixed same mistakes and added some new features (print enum and set constants etc).

Because D.J. Murdoch does not plan to update INTRFC any more, please send bugs only to my Internet address.

The reason I included source code is because it will serve as a bit of documentation for the TPU file format: Borland will never publish it. They want to be free to change the format, tweaking performance when they can.

You must compile INTRFC in BP 7.0. Normally it will dump only BP 7.0 (TPUQ) files. If you want to dump TP 6.0 (TPU9) files, you must recompile INTRFC with the symbol UNIT60 defined. Change SWITCHES.INC or compile with BPC: BPC intrfc.pas /b /DUNIT60

USAGE:
       INTRFC /options unit [output_file]
   where options are letters from the following:
     B - emitted code bytes
     C - initialized constant blocks
     D - code blocks
     E - routine entry records
     G - emitted global const bytes
     H - TPU header
     I - implementation section (if $D was used in compilation)
     L - proc/fn locals (if $L was used in compilation)
     M - source line number map
     N - names in interface
     O - const relocation records
     R - relocation records
     S - source file records
     U - unit list
     V - var blocks
     W - exported name records
     Z - browser section {$Y+}
     A - turn all options on

     Options are processed sequentially and toggle the display.
     Use /Tpath[;path] to set the Turbo directory for TURBO.TPL
      and referenced units.
     E.G. To see all but the relocation records in the system unit,
          use
        INTRFC /AR /T\bp\bin;\bp\units SYSTEM
     The default is just the names in the interface section.

LIMITATIONS

There are tons of limitations to INTRFC. It doesn't know how to print the values of typed constants. Etc. Etc. Etc. If you want it to do something differently just go ahead and change it!

I recommend compiling with all possible checks turned on, since it's pretty easy to get lost in all those pointers and records.
