Not having any issues with video but installing in VMWorkstation 15 appears to 
be having issues with just building the boot drive. Tried all the settings per 
ARCA but cannot get it to see the hard drive and let me fully install it.  
Worked one time but I had other issues so Had to restart it. I found out having 
larger than 2 gig drive screws with some of the older apps.

Which drive format is better to use?

Have not played with Virtual Pascal /2.  How close to Borland Pascal 7 is it?  
can you build PM apps easier with it then FPC?

The question on FPC, can the FPC.CFG be used like the BPC.CFG, I can customize 
it and have different ones setup for the different projects?  I told you it was 
a novice question.  I just really started looking it reading the docs.  It 
appears to be able to do quite a bit.

Thanks for any help and feedback
