    This is nice IF you're coming from Turbo Pascal for DOS or you need to support OS/2, but as a general development environment, it's barely comparable to the version of Delphi from 9 years ago. In other words, if you're not stuck with a bunch of ancient TP code/skills or an app which must run on OS/2, this is a poor tool for Win32/Linux programming.

    Virtual Pascal might be more interesting if it were Open Source because good examples of old-fashion, hand-tuned x86 assembly language are getting hard to find these days. It appears, however, that there are licensing issues for portions of the source code which prevent the author from being able to release it, even if he wanted to.

    GREAT!
    It's fast, generates tight code, is almost 100% Borland compatible, is more powerful, and is free...
    This is a must for DOS 32 developers who want to upgrade their Turbo Pascal 7.1 or their Borland Pascal 7.01 to the latest compatible versions.
