Pentium II 300 - bug with crt unit

We have a lot of process control programs compiled in TP7, all running
fine until recently users started moving to Pentium II 300/333 machines.

Running any program on these machines that is linked to the CRT unit
causes an instant runtime error 200 (div by zero). Has anyone had a
similar experience and are there any patches to CRT to get around this
problem ?

Best regards,

It were fine if you first had looked at the various FAQ's.

I have had the same problem, but thanks to the follow ups I should now
be able to fix it. :)

Sheesh. I wish people would at least read the last days messages on this NG
before they hit their POST button. There has been at least one thread going on
this subject for months. We don't need another.

1 Read the FAQ
2 Read at least one days NG messages
3 Then ask a question

I'm usually very tolerant of on-subject questions, but enough's enough.
