Barth: Yes, there is a distinction to be made between an interpreted environment, say, GHCi, and instantfpc, which is simply a compiler wrapper just advanced enough to let you ./ your Pascal programs. With a little more work, instantfpc could become an interpreted environment.
I'll see if I can patch the fpc code to add shebangs as comments.
