No square left bracket with (Swiss) German keyboard
I am regularly using VP 279 on both OS/2 (now ArcaOS) and Windows, and I noticed that I can't generate a left square bracket when using a (Swiss) German keyboard in Windows (it works with US keyboard layout). This is the case with Windows XP SP3, W7, and W10. I get the left square bracket in all other applications, the problem exists only in VP. The workaround is to copy-paste the left bracket. It's bizarre.See More

"Sorry the only other question that has piqued my curiosity. Given the expense of the Ning site as stated in various threads since at least 2016, how can this site still be going? Is there some exemption that applies to the site based on its…"
"Hi Robert,
Thanks for your message. It is a little sad that the compiler has received so little love over the last few years but having read the history it is not really surprising. I am amazed at the size of the executables it can produce. Compared…"
"Hi Ashwin,
Yes, VP is still around, but it's effectively abandonware. It generates W32 executables that still run on W64, but Allan has no intention of ever updating it. I still use it for the programs that process my hitchhike statistics, but…"

TNT Unicode component for Virtual Pascal ?
Has any one converted the TNT Control codes package that supports Unicode controls on an ascii based system such as mine (Delphi 4) ? The free version of TNT only supports from Delphi 6 onwards and into Delphi XE.

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!
