BPG File Extension

What is BPG file?

BPG is a project file format associated with various Borland programs. BPG is a batch file that store project file grouped into a single project package. Aside from its project organization and file management function, BPG files also stores references to other projects (including subprojects) or external data sources and determines the order of project compilation. BPG files are required during project compilation.

Project readability

Larger projects typically contain thousand of lines of code stored in multiple files. Project are commonly organized around modules or smaller subprojects, which group code based on its functionality. This approach has two distinct advantages. First, it increases code readability, facilitates project analysis, and makes code debugging faster and and easier. Secondly, it makes code reusable as modules can be used in other projects. BPG batch files are designed to accommodate modular code management.
