Virtual Pascal is a free 32-bit Pascal compiler, IDE and debugger for OS/2 and Windows, with some limited Linux support. The current version is v2.1.279, and although it has a wide user base, VP has not evolved significantly for several years.
The compiler is compatible with Turbo Pascal and Borland Delphi, although language- and RTL-compatibility is limited for features introduced after v2. VP is primarily useful for the following purposes:
- Easily port existing 16-bit Turbo Pascal programs to 32 bits
- Port existing 16-bit OWL programs to 32-bit Windows
- Write console (text-mode) programs for several platforms
- Learn object-oriented programming
The debugger of VP is built directly into the (text-mode) IDE and is reminiscent of Turbo Debugger.
