Well for programs compiled with FreePascal (FPC) you need a 386 and
dpmi support. The same is true with GNU Pascal (GPC), I think.

Is there any free 16Bit Pascal Compiler?
(I mean "free" not "for free")

(FYI: I didn't try them on FreeDOS yet, but I use both Compilers under 
Linux: FPC is more compatible to Borland Pascal, while GPC is more 
concerned with the ISO/ANSI Pascal standards; FPC seems to produce 
the better result and comes with more additional stuff)
