I.e. you can study how they create code, before you reinvent the wheel :-)
:-) Had occurred to me as well, although obviously a lot is dictated by
FPC's higher-level parsing and structure. Might still be very useful for

I've seen comment that VS/Pascal was used by IBM to write at least some
system software, and then there is obviously P4 Pascal which has been
ported to at least some of the readily-available S/3x0 operating systems.
