No, because the crt unit contains initialisation code, and  
initialisation code of a unit is obviously always linked in and  
executed. This initialisation code puts the terminal in raw mode,  
because it's required for crt's functionality. The crt unit does not  
contain an exported procedure to disable it, since that would also  
break all crt's functionality.
