   The source for VP compiler was never available publicly.  It was it was written   
   in 32-bit machine language code and assembler, so its sort of a lost cause   
   anyway.  It'd need a full rewrite in a different language to work in a modern   
   64-bit OS, and it'd probably take a decade to get it caught up to Free Pascal   
   today.   
      
   Using it is a dead end in my opinion, when Free Pascal is active, more capable,   
   and better designed.
