"Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) is a compiler for the closely related programming-language dialects Pascal and Object Pascal."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Pascal
"It supports its own Object Pascal dialect, as well as the dialects of several other Pascal family compilers to a certain extent, including those of Borland Pascal (named "Turbo Pascal" until the 1990 version 6), Borland (later Embarcadero) Delphi, and some historical Macintosh compilers. The dialect is selected on a per-unit (module) basis, and more than one dialect can be used per program."
