I tried to compile tply with fpc-1.9.5, and I got an error about memAvail not being avaible. A quick googling and I found out about GetHeapStatus. A little more googling and I discovered that the fpc-1.9.5 version of tply doesn't have the problem (thanks for that btw).

It'll be cool if this version of tply were available stand-alone.

I'm looking for a little syntax help please.  How do
you use units in a unit?  The following doesn't work.
unit unit_test;
uses crt;
interface
    function make_line(): String;
implementation
    function make_line(): String;
    begin
         make_line := 'This is a string returned';
    end;
end.

What I'm trying to accomplish in my program is I want to create a file called defs.pas. this would contain all the constants for all the units that make up the prgram. For example, there might be a constant
SCREEN_WIDTH or SCREEN_HEIGHT. Now I want to be
able to use those varibles in the units, Collide.pas and Draw.pas. How is this done in Pascal.

Like this.

You need to put your "uses" list inside either the interface or the implementation of the unit. You can even put different lists in the interface and implementation sections (though you can't list the same unit in BOTH lists). Usually the implementation section will have a longer uses list; the interface only needs a uses list for types, including object types, etc., which appear in the interface.

I'm not sure about it, but it may even be possible to put a uses list inside initialization and/or finalization sections.

No, but the initialization and finalization sections has access to the units already used.
