Yes, I sometimes use it for simple programs. But the only real advantage to GNU Pascal is its support for the two standards (which I like): 7185 and 10206. Otherwise it's way too bloated output. (When the P5 bytecode compiler/interpreter itself is barely bigger than "hello world", you've got a problem. UPX helps but not a lot.)

You can specify --uses=heapmon (etc.) on cmdline, but you'll probably also need --automake . I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but I can send you a makefile or examples through gmail.
