Freepascal generates only 32-bit code. Doesn't
matter whether writes directly machine opcodes (EXE file) or ASM code. It is
still 32-bit.
It would be difficult to add the compilation
platform "16-bit DOS" into Freepascal but it is not imposible. You would have to
write all standard units, further the startup code. And most difficult thing -
to change addresses and pointer handling.
As the start point of new pascal development also
could serve Alice pascal
which is for 16-bit DOS .

group?
well...i'm not exactly an expert in the subject but i've
noticed that freepascal suports nasm output...and nasm can generate 16bit
code...not sure if it is 286 real or protected mode code, altough it seems to
be real mode (i've seen people writing bootloaders with nasm)
doesn't
this fits the needs of a real mode modern compiler?!!?!?!?
