On the virtual get-together this weekend, someone (I think it was

that's supposed to be compatible with Borland TurboPascal.

Sad that he doesn’t want to make it open source. Oh well, you tried. Maybe he
will change his mind someday. :-(
There was a discussion about this a few years back on either the
FreePascal forum or on a usenet Pascal list, in which was mentioned that
the source (at least a good part of it) would actually be from a leaked
Turbo Pascal source code 6.0 (about 20 years ago), and hence the
reluctance to publish it.
Parts of it, like parser is listed in snippets on the web site, but what
is published is not enough to get the working compiler together.
Trust me, if the source code for this would be legally available, I
would have posted about this long time ago...😛
