Author of the question is apparently not subscribed to the list, I've added him to Cc: now to forward your answer. Another part of the answer from Joost would be: our documentation provides some information on differences among the different modes. As mentioned by Joost, there is no need to choose some special mode unless you try to solve a particular problem (like need for compatibility with certain behaviour or functionality supported in other compilers). If you have such a problem, you can search the documentation and try to find the answer there. Otherwise go for objfpc mode for object pascal or the default fpc mode for procedural programming.
