NO.

And I think there was a misunderstanding somewhere.

My goal was to get a subset (preferable a big subset) of EXISTING 
targets (targets that fpc already has) to run (run pascalscript on them).

I never intended to add new targets or something like that.

Also strictly I am only interested in targets, on which the Lazarus IDE 
will work.
( I have an extension to he IDE, than uses pascalscript.  )

About Mac: I am not a MAc user, so I said, I did not know the naming of 
whatever runs on different MACs.

But the one I am interested, is the one, on which the IDE currently works.
