Hi.

With fpc 3.0.0 supporting iso7185 mode I made contact to the people of standard 
pascal and the p4/p5 compilers and i like to forward their congratulations to 
you:

With the current status of gpc, fpc has become a much valued alternative, for 
example for bootstrapping p4/p5.

How about his suggestion about renaming the mode to iso7185? Too late?

How about calling ExtendedPascal iso10206 instead of extpas?
