The TPU file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TPU files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TPU file on each system platform.
What is TPU file?
The file in the TPU format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Borland. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Turbo Pascal Unit is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Turbo Pascal application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open TPU file?
The most common problem when using Turbo Pascal Unit is that a specific TPU is not associated with the program. This causes the file TPU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TPU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Turbo Pascal
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Turbo Pascal is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Turbo Pascal in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TPU with Turbo Pascal. Below is a list of programs that support the file TPU.
Programs to open TPU file
Remember to download programs supporting TPU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Turbo Pascal with TPU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TPU file to open in the Turbo Pascal application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TPU file with the Turbo Pascal program.
Step 3. Update Turbo Pascal to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Turbo Pascal program with the Turbo Pascal Unit file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TPU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TPU file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TPU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TPU files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TPU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Borland, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TPU except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TPU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TPU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TPU file again. However, some background programs may block the TPU file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
