Your problem with a missing VPUTILS.LIB is caused by the fact that the
demo version does not include the source code for the RTL but only the
interface sections of the units.
As demonstrated in the example programs and in the documentation, your
programs must dynamically link to the RTL DLL supplied, which contains
all RTL functions.
To do this, you need to include a $Dynamic directive:
{&Dynamic VP11Demo.Lib}
The linker then no longer looks for the .LIB files for the units, but
instead uses the functions defined in the DLL.
As an aside, this makes for really small programs :-)
Yours,
Allan Mertner
