In bpcompat's GPCTYPES unit, I have this;

{$ifdef _Borland_16_Bit_}

Is this defined by default in your unit?

No. The definition is commented out (with a dot before the "$")

(Otherwise it might be confusing for BP->gpc programmers.)

BP->GPC programmers (like me) may want BP syntax support, but not necessarily want to use 16-bit data structures instead of the default ones. It is quite easy to remove the dot.

...

Type Single = __short__ Real; Double = Real; Extended = __long__ Real; ShortInt = __byte__ Integer; LongInt = Integer; Comp = __longlong__ Integer; Integer16 = __short__ Integer; Word = __unsigned__ Integer16; {$endif _Borland_16_Bit_}

Don't forget:

Byte = __unsigned__ Shortint;

I believe that "Byte" is the same in GPC and BP, and so it doesn't need to be redefined for 16-bit BP.
