This is the FreePascal adoption of Borland Pascal from Square One: Duntemann, Jeff
Via: [Archive.is] Jeff Duntemann on Twitter: “I adapted my book Borland Pascal 7 From Square One for FreePascal. This involved cutting out obsolete stuff like the BGI and TurboVision, and adding a few things here and there. I then released it as a free PDF ebook: #pascal #programmingisfun … “

As I will likely need this one day: [Archive.is / WayBack] Crosscompiling with Lazarus 1.8 on Linux Mint 18.3 | The Programming Works.
There are quite a few one-time manual setups to initially set this up, but after that it’s a piece of cake.
via:
There’s a lot to like about Lazarus. To automate building for multiple targets, a nice option is Build Modes and the menu option “Compile many Modes”. From command line, you can use
lazbuildwith--operating-system,--cpu, or--build-modeswitches.

For my link archive: GitHub – Libaud/POLCLVCLISO: Pascal Object LCL and VCL ISO standards implementation for CodeTyphon, Delphi, Lazarus
It implements these standards:
A library like this needs monitoring the standards changes, so hopefully Libaud will do that.
Some of my posts related to ISO 3166 are below.

The syntax is documented. In the Turbo Pasal 3 documentation, i.e. the Z80 era.
Source my answer to [WayBack] Delphi ^A syntax: Documented, implied, or undocumented? – Stack Overflow (I have added some WayBack Internet Archive links below) as it is from the Turbo Pascal era where the caret was introduced to support control characters:
This is from long ago as an escape character to enable you to have consts for control characters in a more readable way.const CtrlC = ^C; begin Write(Ord(CtrlC)); end.This defines a Char constant with value
#3, then writes3in Borland Pascal 7, and I remember seeing it years before that too.I just checked the Turbo Pascal 5.0 and Borland Pascal 7.0 languages guides, but could not find it, so it seems undocumented.
Edit: I do remember this was a Borland thing, and just [WayBack] checked: it is not part of the ISO Pascal standard (formerly this was ANSI Pascal Standard, thanks Sertac for noticing this).
It [WayBack] is documented in the Free Pascal documentation [WayBack].
SGI uses the backslash as escape character, as per their docs [WayBack].
More Edit: I found it [WayBack] documented in Delphi in a Nutshell and the [WayBack] Delphi Basics site.
Found it: Just found it on page 37 of the Turbo Pascal 3 Reference Manual [WayBack].
(Marco van de Voort found the Free Pascal documentation)
It in fact originates in the 1984 Turbo Pascal 1 edition, as per the [WayBack] Turbo_Pascal_Reference_Manual_Feb84.pdf:

Sometimes the title of a G+ entry looks not so interesting, but then you read the comments. In this cast it’s about the mediator pattern support in the tiOPF object persistence framework, how it works very well from Free Pascal and both classic and modern Delphi compilers and why developers dislike ARC. It’s cool as it allows you to decouple UI from business logic and separate out business logic from your application into a back-end.
