<style> BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }</style>At the very least, compiling under Turbo Pascal for historic reasons. Unless I'm mistaken, the very first versions of Free Pascal were written in Turbo Pascal 7.0 because Borland announced it would not make a compiler for 32-bit processors (having moved their focus to their little-known, upcoming Windows project known as Delphi). Development under Turbo Pascal ceased once the compiler was able to compile itself.<br>

<br>
if we set TP mode, what will happens if $IF is removed/changed?
<br>
<br>
i still have a lot of TP code here and some of it has been ported to FPC... some
<br>
of that ported code has been recoded to use getopts which allow a lot of other
<br>
code to be stripped out because getopts handles command line options much better...
