This sounds very promising for me, as my planned application is not on a 
formal OS, but I'll need to build a wrapper to make the Pascal 
procedures run on my homebrew OS.

I'll just need a decently working compiler and the necessary parts of 
the RTL,

I suppose I'll need to modify the RTL's OS-API interface according to my 
needs. Supposedly I just need memory management and semaphores / 
thread-communication, plus some kind of (serial) bytestream (Pipe). Not 
files.

In fact the first program is supposed to do the communication with a 
GPRS modem via a serial interface ("AT..." stuff). The program should be 
called from a (GNU) ANSI-C program and should be able to call ANSI-C 
procedures. (The program already works nicely on Delphi/Windows.)

I'll stay tuned. :-)

Thanks,
