Hm, this may be one silly question...

but I couldn't find docs on it, I hadn't come accross it before...

A file that should compile can start with:
'unit xxx;'
'program xxx'

but I found fpc also compiles
'package xxx; '

What dos it do? Where are the docs?

Probably not much. It is for Delphi compability, and more or less the project file for packages (*.dpk), just like .dpr is used for the mainprogram.

Packages are as of yet unimplemented, see
http://wiki.freepascal.org/packages

Besides unit,program,package there is also library btw.

...and there is 'library xxx' too
