Protecting Your Project Files
When you run DelphMap, it creates and modifies several files unique to the
program. Foremost among these files is the Delph project, a file having the
extension DMP. After you have specified a DMP Delph project, DelphMap
creates additional files in the same directory (folder) where the Delph project is
created, or in additional directories you have set up and specified to DelphMap
(see ‘Organizing Directories for a Project'),
Do NOT delete, rename, or move any DelphMap
files from the directories where they are created.
Organizing Directories for a Project
In the course of building a project, DelphMap creates a number of files. You’ll find
it easier to keep track of things if you create directories dedicated to the project
you make. All files supporting the project files can be redirected to subfolders of
the project folder.
