Features
The compiler is compatible with Turbo Pascal, Borland Delphi, and Free Pascal, although language- and RTL-compatibility is limited for features introduced after Delphi v2 and FPC 1.0.x.
VP was 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 (in theory)
Write console (text-mode) programs for several platforms
Pascal development using the 32-bit Windows API (the classic development, no COM)
Learn object-oriented programming
Significant features of Virtual Pascal include:
Text-mode IDE
Debugger is integrated directly into the IDE and is reminiscent of Turbo Debugger
Fast compilation
Tool-chain written mostly in Intel assembly"
