Sorry, FreePascal, the Free Pascal compiler, open source compiler which

According to enquiries, the most widely used Pascal compiler after
Delphi and TurboPascal.
The only drawback: it cannot generate 32-bit code (changes would be big:
the 4-byte pointers are 32-bit offsets rather than seg:ofs pairs, etc,
etc).
You sure about that? The FreePascal compiler for DOS goes to Version
1.0.10 which is 32 bits. Support stopped here because newer versions
have threading which is not natively supported by DOS.
OOPS! My fault, I wanted to say: cannot generate 16-bit code! Of course,
it's a 32-bit compiler. A pitty that support stopped there... I am just
wondering if I compile for DOS with threading and run my app, renamed to
KRNL386.EXE, under Windows95... :)
