   I suggest you look at the documentation on Units - the manuals which
came with your package, any after-market texts you've acquired, etc.  
Then, if you have problems with them not working as you wish, post a
specific question with supporting snippets of what you've tried/done.
   The documentation in the Borland manuals has been adequate for most of
us - what's doesn't make sense?

First you have to format the source code so that it
has a structure acceptable for compilation as a unit.

Once you've done that, you have to run it through a
Pascal compiler that supports a UNIT object-file
format, such as Turbo Pascal 4, 5, 6 or Borland
Pascal 7 of Delphi.

Other Pascal compilers can also generate proprietary
object files, and some can generate standard .OBJ
object files.

Brian.

I asume that you know the format for a Unit, if not look up the manual
if you don't have a manual, stop ussing priate software. Goto the
compile menu & select destination, it should now have changed to disk.
When you next compile your unit, a file called unitname.tpu will be
sitting in your unit & exec folder, you can now decalre that unit in
your usses clause. Have fun & don't buy MicroSoft software. BG is
satan...
