Yeah, those boards are not terribly popular. I looked it up, but it is nothing compilable, just fragements so it is hard to do a quick test.

If you have a small compilable example you can also sent it to fpc at pascalprogramming dot org

Note that the place to report bugs is http://bugs.freepascal.org

Nothing is 100% compatible. It is more than close enough as far as I know though. I think your expectations played tricks with you here.

Partially that is because it is compatible enough to use BP's.

I saw yes. It was posted one or two minutes before my reply, so it crossed.
