Note that if that is about Gardens Point Component Pascal, CP is a successor
to Oberon-2 to my knowledge, and has been geared towards portability (ported
to JVM too) and thus is pretty much a long way from a typical native
production Pascal dialect, that invariantly got some C features for OS
interfacing?


A better reference for production code could be simply investigating what
docs Borland has about .NETifying Delphi code to compile under Delphi.NET.


What works, what not, and then make an invetarisation of what constructs
