Virtual Pascal

Description

VP is a cross-platform 32-bit Pascal compiler, linker and debugger, which supports OS/2, 32 bit Microsoft Windows (Windows 95 and Up), some 32-bit DOS extenders and includes experimental support for Linux. Its open architecture allows this compatibility to be extended to more Intel-based operating systems, including full source-level debugging. VP has better support for Borland and Turbo Pascal code than any other 32 bit tool, including later Borland systems.

This compiler itself is written entirely in assembly language.
