No, the only linker that understands .TPU files is the one built in to 
TP.  You can't use TLINK to link those units into BC++.  

It is possible (with a lot of compromises) to link C or C++ into TP, so
you might want to write your main program in TP, and immediately make a
call out to C.  An alternative is to write the TP part into its own .EXE
and spawn it; that would be the quickest approach, though it might not
be good enough if you need to go back and forth between C and TP a lot.
