According to J.J. van der Heijden
(j DOT j DOT vanderheijden AT mail DOT student DOT utwente DOT nl):

-snip-

If you are using the GNU pascal version from the djgpp distribution
(gcc-2.6.3 based), you have two options:

1) use #include to include "units" using the preprocessor, instead of
   the "uses" mechanism.

2) Get the pre-release of the new, gcc-2.7.2 based GPC which has *much*
   better unit support. It also has some bugs, but that's what 
   pre-releases are for, right?

GPC prereleases for djgpp are available from:

ftp://ftp.agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gpc-2.7.2/djgpp/
ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/gpc-2.7.2/djgpp/
  which is mirrored at:
ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu/pascal/gpc-2.7.2/djgpp/

A second pre-release *may* appear in one or two weeks.

This advice may be out of date (it's dated Sept. 96), but I hope it
helps you.

Please list exactly what packages you downloaded from the SimTel site. 
I believe that the minimum required for Pascal compilation is
'v2/djdev201.zip', 'v2gnu/bnu27b.zip', 'v2gnu/gcc2721b.zip', and
'v2gnu/gpc20b.zip'.  Read chapter 6 of the FAQ (v2/faq210b.zip) for more
information on compilation problems.
