Sure thing.

You can grab both off of my website at http://outpostbbs.net/vp.html.

I have had to modify some programs to use LongInts instead of Integer but
that's simple.  VP defines VIRTUALPASCAL so you can write cross-platform code:

{$IFDEF VIRTUALPASCAL}
blahblah
{$ELSE}
blah
{$ENDIF}

That's about the only major annoyance that gets me sometimes.

 DB> Thanks for the help and feedback.

If you have any questions, netmail me or contact me here.  You can also email
me at sysop@outpostbbs.net.  I am no super expert but I have been using these
tools since 1998.

I also have a few tips with using Free Pascal and knocking done the executable
size without resorting to compression programs like UPX.

Later,
Sean
