The dcu file format has not been released by Inprise (BORLAND) as it (they say) is always changing, I think that they can't release the format as then shareware components etc would not really work as you could decompile the .dcu back to .pas format...this is just on instance of the file format not been released...

i also don't think, there is no description avaiable, Borland haven't even released the former
TPU-Format in Turbo PAscal
the delphi compiler can generate .obj files instead of .dcu file (go to project options | linker | output object files). i think the .obj file format is described rather good.
DCU is a simple Delphi unit that has been compiled and I guess it's a resource file.. Noe exactly sure, but there is nothing wrong with a simplew guess, is it???

;->
viktor, dcu's are not resource files. i tried to load them with the resource editor of visual studio, and it didn't recognize the files as resource binaries. in my opinion, dcu's are similar to obj's and just have a different format.
yeah. maybe your are right....
