I don't know, but sadly, there will never be an update to VP again so it cannot be fixed.

There was a time when VP was amazing, but given its lack of support and how mature Free Pascal has become, I don't even think its worth using VP anymore.

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.

If your code doesn't compile and has errors, then the problem is likely the code. You can post questions here if you are interested!

Free Pascal isn't going to compile everything Virtual Pascal does without changes. If you want code that works across many platforms, Free Pascal is
the only way to go.
