I wasn't criticizing anyone, only trying to relay the whole story (and part 
of the story is that I was only reverting back to an older version because 
the newer one was going to require more effort then I had time for at that 
moment).

Alright, this proved to be very beneficial! It told me where fpc was 
looking for the units, but I can't for the life of me figure out WHY it's 
looking there. Here's what -vt gave me the first time around:

BEFORE
Compiler: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ppc386.exe
Using executable path: c:\fpc\bin\win32\
Using unit path: c:\source\
Using library path: c:\source\
Using object path: c:\source\
Unitsearch: syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: \fpc\compiled\syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: syswin32.pp
Unitsearch: syswin32.pas
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pp
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pas
si.pas(56,1) Fatal: Can't find unit SYSWIN32

When I added "-Fuc:\fpc\units\win32\rtl" (with or without "-n" 
too)  directly to my command line I got this:

AFTER
Compiler: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ppc386.exe
Using executable path: c:\fpc\bin\win32\
Using unit path: c:\source\
Using unit path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\
Using library path: c:\source\
Using library path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\
Using object path: c:\source\
Using object path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\
Unitsearch: syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: \fpc\compiled\syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: syswin32.pp
Unitsearch: syswin32.pas
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pp
Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pas
Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.ppw
PPU Loading c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.ppw
Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.pp
Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.pas
si.pas(56,1) Fatal: Can't find unit SYSWIN32

It seems to be looking in the correct spot now, and syswin32.ppw does 
indeed exist in the \fpc\units\win32\rtl directory, but it's still giving 
me the same error (and I'm assuming the message "PPU Loading" means it 
found the unit and loaded it, which would make it all the more confusing).
