DOS ain't dead - HX-DOS Extender & Virtual Pascal 2.1.279

HX-DOS Extender & Virtual Pascal 2.1.279 (DOSX)

Hi everyone,

since I had some troubles getting this to work properly and didn't find any other reference on this I decided to share my findings here.

I had the problem that VP in DOS with HX started to compile but hung up my machine after some seconds. This was due to the fact that VP needs a big amount of file handles (FILES= in config.sys) depending on the size of the project. I had to raise the handles to 200. This is explained in the docs somewhere, but not explicitly for VP.

I would also like to share my VP/HX setup here, it is based/tested on VP 2.1.279 and HX DPMILD32 3.2.0. The archive should be uncompressed to ?:\VP\ and doesn't overwrite any existing files:

Bye,
