As far as I know the earlier Turbo-Pascal compilers (I think 5.5 and
earlier) have been freeware'd years ago. They can natively compile
16bit code on Freedos and might be worth a try. You can find even
ancient versions of TP, like 3.0 on winworldpc, and I actually quite
like to go down memory lane
Btw, when compiling in large memory model via
fpc -Wmlarge
the pointer errors when compiling keyb are gone. There are some 20
remaining compile errors. Perhaps these can be solved.

My opinion is that this should be supported by the compiler, because
Hello,
Could you please post the exact message you got from the compiler?
I got mysefl problems with such convertions trying to compile FD-KEYB with
FPC, but although I posted for help in the forums, I didn't get anything
really useful and finally gave up.
But I am curious if you get the same err
Hi Ralf,
yes you are right. I noticed all this before (except the link itself because Android devices use no mouse and the link is not shown in that app). Nevertheless - at the end curiosity won.
And I am not the first one and will not be the last one where this happens.
Since I retired I got at

Kernel 2043? Any particular reason to not use the stock build? Did you
modify anything or add any patches? Just curiosity?
