FPC issues?? The RTL is hoohaa-d into the compiler...better to start from PascalPro sources(fixing some system unit/heap issues ATM..)

Starnge cursor problem.

Hi all,I'm new, so most probably I'm asking a stupid question here..I have this strange cursor problem.. On a simple line requesting some action from the user, like "Type in your choice:" and then using ReadKey to get a single character the cursor messes up often. In 80% on the time the cursor blinks at the right spot immediately after the ':', in 15% it blinks at the beginning of the line and the the remainder 5% it pops up at a totally random place on the screen. I'm using Crt, printer,…See More

Marco van de Voort replied to Robert AH Prins's discussion 'Getting FreePascal's "getopts" unit to compile with VP'

I just saw some numbers that looked outdated, and did a quick google to confirm and posted the results. FPC is certainly not clean at this moment. A ful decision to drop legacy windows (win9x) hasn't been taken, and wince compat also takes its…

Allen Titley replied to Robert AH Prins's discussion 'Getting FreePascal's "getopts" unit to compile with VP'

Marco, Thanks for the comments! The little unit was put together quickly, just to solve a problem - Virtual Pascal (both builds 2.74 and 2.79) doesn't fetch the command line parameters reliably - the parsing is flawed, especially if…

End of Free Ning - What To Do?

I have just seen the news that Ning is in trouble, have laid off 40% of staff, and will end Free Ning sites (such as this one) in 2 months time, early July 2010.

The cheapest option for retaining this site is $20/year - and it will probably be fine. That option has a maximum of 150 members, and we today have 116 here at vpascal, without large growth prospects.

Do you know of an alternative that it's easy to port to? Do you care if vpascal.ning.com disappears? Or would you like… Continue

Spammers

For some reason, spammers think that by creating 100 fake accounts and having them all post ads for products that help against erectile dysfunction, they are somehow going to get through to customers.

The reality is that all they do is to destroy small communities like this one...

I have just deleted a ton of spam accounts - if I deleted a real one by accident, I am sorry!

I have also added a step whereby I have to approve new members so this should be a problem… Continue

Downloading VP

I still get the occasional email from someone that wants to download VP, and it's clearly not obvious how to do so.

Let me point you to the forum thread that has the latest VP build attached to it, and also points to a few mirrors: Virtual Pascal Download Forum Topic

Happy downloading!

New VP community

After the main Virtual Pascal site went down 2 years or so ago, I have occasionally received email from someone that wants to know what is up with VP - and I didn't have a good answer other than "sorry".

With this new site, there will once again be a platform for users of VP to communicate, share ideas, files and thoughts - I encourage you to use it.

I don't intend to do any more with VP than I have before, but will occasionally have a look to see how it goes.
