In this case I don't understand how FPC is useful at all. I cannot 
create executable files for such a device...

C has some language constructs for OS or driver implementation, e.g. 
"interrupt". Should we add these to the OPL, to make FPC/OPL compete 
with gcc/C? It would be nice, though, to have an Pascal DDK for Windows ;-)


Abstract: Even if it's easy to add privileged instructions to every 
machine, the ordinary user IMO should be protected from using them.
