No, I just saying that maybe you can take advantage of some of the
Object Pascal language features. Doing a automated conversion will
surely not do that.

I thought the whole point was to create an OS in Pascal. So to me the
kernel is the heart of the OS, so that should be in Pascal as well.
That's what will be the impressive part for me. Porting the other OS
utilities are simply not that impressive. They are standard
applications, which we all know Object Pascal can already do.
