D2 DCU's don't work in D3. (The compiler 'technology' they've used in
D3 is completely different). You either need the .PAS units, or the
DCU's that were compiled using D3...

I have a dll that I developed in 2.0. We just received 3.0 and when I
try to compile it, it tells me that it cannot find the .pas file.
Well that is a dcu and I cannot figure out how to get it to use the
dcu. I tried installing it into my components, both in the source
code directory and also moving them to the lib directory, and it still
says cannot find the .pas file. Well, there isn't one. How do you
install and use a dcu?

Thanx,
Mike

It is a well known fact that DCUs of Delphi 2.0 are not compatible with 3.0
