Pascal-DOS-program won't run on Windows 98-PC

Hello,

A program I developed with Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS, won't run
on a windows 98 - PC. On a windows 3.1, 3.11 & windows95 - PC it works
just fine.
When I start it on a 98-machine it returns error code 200 (division by
zero).
Sometimes it will start though, all very confusing.

Anybody got an idea.

Are you using a Pentium II? This is an old problem in this newsgroup.
Nobody wants to answer you. I do not have the links ready at hand, but
there are solutions. Try altavista.

I was a beginner here approximately 1 year ago.
I did not know what "FAQ" stands for, nor what
AFAIK and IMHO and all the other abbreviations.
English is not my native language, and so
the abbreviations are an additional level of
complexity.

Yes, I sometimes grow angry too if posters write
in an impolite manner, such as if they had a
"right" to get answers here. But even this can
be a followup of a misunderstanding...

chapter "patches" has the necessary information how
to cure the buggy CRT unit.

Given that the guy works at the university of Amsterdam with an AS400, (use
DejaNews to get his author profile, he has posted to comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc)
I very much doubt that he doesn't know what FAQ means!
