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.
