Is anyone interested in a, Borland-Compatible, 32 bit Pascal?
I found a Linux version referenced here:
http://sun01.brain.uni-freiburg.de/%7Eklaus/fpk-pas/
and I asked some questions...

It certainly isn't dependent on SVGAlibs. As for Linux, well, 
it comes from DOS, so I'd say no, it isn't _very_ dependent. 
We got it also running on SCO unix, but we didn't pursue that line of 
development (yet).
Porting it to freeBSD shouldn't be too hard. you can do 2 things :
1- use the C runtime library (that's how we got started on Linux, and, after
that, on SCO unix)
2- use the syscalls unit. (little bit more involved, I suppose)

If you want to start on it, let me know, I'll do what I can to help.

Michael.
