AFAIK FPC is a "Borland" pascal not an ISO or Wirth pascal,
so there may be are subtle differences to what you expect. (you didn't
specify the flavour of toyue college pascal exposusre)

The GNU p2c compiler is an ISO pascal  dunno if it's still being developed,
it's written in C and needs a C compiler to produce executables.
