which files do I include with exe file?

I was just wondering what files I needed to include with the exe file for my
program to work on a computer that doesn't have any versions of Pascal ( I
am using TP7).

This is a very funny question...

It depends on your program.
graphics: If you are using the graph.tpu you will need to include
the xxxxxx.BGI files (probably only one of them), the .chr files
for the "bautiful" stroked fonts.

If you had BP 7 you would probably need the RTM.EXE for DPMI.
If you had TPW 1.5 or BPW 7 you would probably need BWCC.DLL.

And other files which you made for configuration and/or initialisation,
and help files (for Turbo Vision or Windows)...

What is BWCC.DLL for? My TPW1.5 programs (and even TPW.EXE) appear
to work fine without it and I've never included it in distributions.

I only distribute files which are EXPLICITLY accessed at run-time
(including any DLL's referenced through my own units.)
For a lot of stuff, this means just the EXE
(configuration and data files are created as needed by the EXE).

I only know for the DOS-Version of BP7/TP7:

- Your EXE-file (gee...)
- When you're using BGI-graphics, all needed .BGI-drivers and
.CHR-fonts. You may also link this group of files directly to your .EXE
using BINOBJ.EXE
- In protected mode, you also need DPMI16BI.OVL and RTM.EXE. I suggest
to add DPMIINST.EXE and RTMRES.EXE.

Robert!

BWCC.DLL is used for the "Borland style" dialog boxes and buttons
with graphical images. If you enable Borland style in the resource
editor, you get more "beautiful" buttons.
