I have a vague memory of informally sharing some homebrew Pascal parsing/code generation code to what I think may have been a predecessor of Free Pascal in like 1996 to someone I met over the web, back when people had homepages and public email addresses. We were all mourning the death of Turbo Pascal for DOS; Borland was just focusing on Windows.

I'm sure it was very crappy and never really used in the actual Free Pascal, but it's a fun memory nonetheless.

It's really nice to see this Free Pascal/Lazarus thing still alive.
