Has anyone actually tried porting FPC to VMS?  It looks at first glance

Why?  Wasn't the VMS Pascal compiler ported?  I would think it
would be a lot easier porting something written in Pascal
compared to something written in C.

 If FPC source is ISO Pascal then VMS Pascal may be able to build it
with maybe a few tweaks.
 But if the FPC source is Object Pascal then VMS Pascal is of no use.
 A quick glance at https://github.com/fpc/FPCSource/screams Object Pascal.
 

So, that OO shit comes out to bite people on the ass yet again.  :-)
