Description

The $AppType compiler directive tells the linker to create a GUI or console application. In a console application, Delphi opens the Input and Output files to read from and write to the console. When compiling a console application, Delphi defines the CONSOLE conditional symbol in all units that make up the project. The default is a GUI application.
