   I looked at this and tried an online compiler, yes they do exist.
   The online compiler however appears to be running on Linux.
   The compiler had a fatal error looking for include files" for the .sys files specified.
   
   Here is the output:
   
   Compiling the source code....
   $fpc -v0 TurboGraphicsDemo.pas 2>&1
   Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.2 [2013/02/16] for x86_64
   Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others
   TurboGraphicsDemo.pas(3,2) Fatal: Can't open include file "typedef.sys"
   Fatal: Compilation aborted
   Error: /usr/bin/ppcx64 returned an error exit code (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)
   
   There are free compilers , sourceforge has one for pascal .
   Get the one for windows and give it a try. 
   I suspect when you pasted the source code into your question the formatting was removed and all the source code was on one line, and that will not work (sorry if I am telling you something you already know but I just wanted to make this answer clearer). So if you try with an installed compiler, make sure your code is carriage returned like the following:
   {$C-}
   program TurboGraphicsDemo;
   {$I typedef.sys}
   VAR X:FILE;
   {$I CSS.PAS }
   {$I graphix.sys}
   {$I kernel.sys}
   {$I windows.sys}
