Virtual Pascal

1. Read the text and try to understand it.

VP is a cross-platform 32-bit compiler, linker and debugger, which supports OS / 2, Windows 95 / 98 / ME, Windows NT /2000, 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 is the best choice of compiler for any person or organization desiring to produce fast, compact cross-platform applications as quickly as possible. Prior knowledge of the Pascal language is an advantage, but not a requirement. If you do not have any knowledge of the Pascal language, you should buy a book on Pascal programming to get the most out of Virtual Pascal – although the Language Reference Manual does provide enough information to get started, it is not intended as a textbook on the Pascal language.

V P features a very high level of compatibility with Borland Pascal 7.0 for DOS and Borland Delphi vl to 3 for Windows. The primary aim of having a high degree of compatibility is to ensure that the process of porting existing code based on the DOS and Windows environments to native 32-bit OS / 2 and Windows applications is as quick and smooth as possible. Being compatible also means that there already is a host of supplementary literature on the dialect of Pascal used by VP available – buy any Borland Pascal programming book and most of the issues apply to VP as well.

While being very compatible with the standards set by Borland, VP also offers a wide range of features unique to 32-bit development under OS / 2 and Win32. All central parts of the system are prepared for multi-threading and the OS / 2 and Win32 API functions are available and ready for use.

For new and experienced programmers alike, VP offers a productive, fast and modern development environment that enables users to make the best of development time.

Visual FoxPro

With its local cursor engine, tight coupling between language and data, and powerful features, Visual FoxPro 8.0 is a great tool for building database solutions of all sizes. Its data-centric, object-oriented language offers developers a robust set of tools for building database applications for the desktop, client-server environments, or the Web. Developers will have the necessary tools to manage data – from organizing tables of information, running queries, and creating an integrated relational database management system (DBMS) to programming a fully-developed data management application for end users.

Visual FoxPro 8.0 includes structured error handling, Cursor Adapter class for universal data access, new auto-increment support for data tables, Microsoft Windows XP Themes support, new base classes and control, new GDI + image support, new event binding for objects, full hierarchical support, new XML Web services features, updated OLE DB provider, improved development productivity, and new and improved compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio NET.

Microsoft is committed to improving Visual FoxPro and serving the needs of FoxPro developers worldwide. Visual FoxPro 8.0 directly addresses the most popular customer requests and support enhancements.

Visual FoxPro COM components can be used with Internet Information Services (IIS) to build high-powered Internet database applications. This is because Visual FoxPro components can be called from Active Server Pages (ASP). Visual FoxPro is compatible with ASP but works even better in conjunction with the more modern ASP.NET. The components will retrieve and manipulate data, and will build some of the HTML returned to the user.
