End of Free Ning - What To Do?
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
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
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.

I seem to have been the fastest one. ;-) Nice to hear from you again...
Some time ago (after you sent the official "death certificate" of VP), I sent you an e-mail asking about possibility to get access to the part of source code related to OS/2 debugger (assuming that it this code may be royalty free). This would be primarily targeted to getting support for debugging OS/2 with FPC IDE.
Similarly, code supporting reading and creation of .OBJ files plus the linker code (supporting LX format creation) might be interesting too (at least for reference).
Would you be willing (and able - depending on the licence terms you had with fPrint) to provide access to this part of source code?
Thanks
Tomas
good news, that vpascal seems not to be dead!
Is there any chance that you will compile an actual version of vpascal? (Or publish your personal version ...) My special interest is only for the command line version (OS/2 and Win32).

FPC is trying to push out a new major version, 2.2 on a fairly short term (months). It completes most of the missing Delphi functionality, at least in potential. (IOW after bugfixes).
The main point still missing is packages. (and DLLs in general could use some attention)
There is nothing wrong with Virtual Pascal that I can find thus far. I had already tried GNU Pascal, and Free Pascal, and this was the first I could get to work first time in Windows XP SP2 without needing addition bits like Cygwin.dll or mingw32. I have compiled my first three easy novice tests successfully.
