I used it to port a couple of my programs from

Turbo Pascal for Windows to Linux, and it was a surprisingly painless

Borland error messages on DOS. (Error 132 at 1B7F sort of thing.)
Historically, one of my pet peeves with compiler writers. IBM 704
FORTRAN had better and clearer diagnostics than many of today's compilers.
Well keep in mind that given that error, you could stick that address into
the "Find Error Location" of the IDE and it would drop you right on the
line of code that triggered the error.
Yes, does that work with FPC on Linux?
It's possible. FPC uses GDB for the debugger - you'd have to check to see
if the text mode IDE has the error location feature that the Turbo Pascal
IDE had. I'm not sure about Lazarus as I don't use it often.
