I'm currently porting a DOS textmode game to Win32 using Virtual Pascal. In the DOS version of the game I've used the CURSOFF function in the TSUNTE unit. This doesn't work when I compile it for Win32. I've found that both the VPUTIL and OPCRT units contain HideCursor and HideMouse units, but I've been unable to find these units -- I guess they can be downloaded from www.vpascal.com, but that site has been down for a while.
Anybody know where I can find these units, or any other way to hide the cursor and mouse?
Another question concerning Virtual Pascal: Does the standard Delay procedure in the Crt unit contain the infamous "Runtime Error 200" bug on faster computers, as is the case with Borland Pascal?

Hi !
1. I don't have time to test it but a HideCursor procedure exists in the VPUtils unit - and in the WinCRT unit but I don't know if you can use this unit instead of CRT ?
2. The Delay procedure of Virtual Pascal's CRT unit uses a completely different technique from the Turbo Pascal's one. This bug doesn't exist any more.
Hope this helps you ?

1. Do you know where I can get the VPUtils unit? I've been googling and looking for it for some time and haven't been able to find it...
2. That's good to know.

Ok, I feel kinda stupid. The VPUtils unit is of course included in the Virtual Pascal I downloaded.

The OpMouse unit with the HideMouse procedure isn't, however. Anybody know where I can get it? I haven't been able to find it anywhere on the net...
