In Turbopascal it was possible with offs()

That's incorrect. In TP, Ofs(recvar.var1) (with one "f") returns the offset in the
segment that contains the "recvar" variable. It does not return the relative offset of
the field inside the record type.
But in at least some cases Ofs() was normalised to always contain 0..15,
so it would be easy to (mis)interpret it as an offset into an allocated
block.
