* The program _PeToCps_ which creates a _gpcp_ symbol file from a nominated "foreign language" PE file. Such symbol files are used by _gpcp_ to perform type-safe separate compilation of Component Pascal modules that import foreign language libraries.

* The program _Browse_ produces a readable, hyperlinked representation of _gpcp_ symbol files.

+## Special Note
|
|
|
+Almost all of the sources of the _gpcp_ tools are written in Component Pascal. It is not possible to *use* _gpcp_ until you have executable code of the tools. And you cannot *build* the executables from this source repository unless you already have a Component Pascal compiler. Most users should start by downloading a recent release distribution from the link above. The releases have documentation, usage information and example programs.
