No, it does not. FPC mainly supports Borland-style Pascal dialects, and they 
are not ISO Standard/Extended Pascal compliant.

I can live with that, but it would save newcomers a lot of trouble if the documentation were a bit 
more upfront about what FPC is not. Just saying it implements "some", or "most" 
of the features of dialect X is a recipe for frustration.

Point well taken. Will try to do for the next release.
