CRT unit error 200

Please help!  I just purchased a new Dell Dimension XPS D333 with Windows 95
already loaded.  I have a lot of legacy Borland Pascal 7.0 programs I need
to be able to run on the new system.  Every program that utilizes the CRT
unit (ie: almost all of them) immediately generates a run-time Error 200
(divide by zero) as soon as the program begins running.  Does anyone know of
a fix for this?  Thanks.

Re:CRT unit error 200


Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!  You have my undying gratitude.  While I
was unable to assemble the ASM source (due to a missing dependancy), the
substitution of the Turbo.Tpl and TPP.Tpl units seems to have done the job.
You've really saved my ___!  (It was either fix it or go back to the old
Pentium 100 - argh!)

Ah, by the way, my McAfee VirusShield tells me you have an OKTAWIN.5664
virus infecting one copy of the patch file - wouldn't let me download it,
and said it couldn't be fixed...

Pascal Start-Up Error 200 on fast PCs when using the Crt unit is a VFAQ!

Read the many earlier postings in the comp.lang.pascal.borland (Frank H,
Roger D, ...) and borland.public.turbopascal newsgroups (you can use
DejaNews), including the comp.lang.pascal.borland mini-FAQ, and Prof.
Salmi's FAQ  ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/link/tsfaqp.zip #124, and/or see
http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/  clpb-faq.txt  pas-time.htm  pas-linx.htm
Some collected patches are in http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/zipfiles/
Another fix is to avoid all use of the Crt unit, or, if accurate delay is
not needed, to compile with TP5 or TP6.

Have you tried loading ANSI.sys from Config.SYS.  Your program must be
running on DOS in which case loading ANSI.sys manually might just do the
trick.  I remember having similar problem under the old DOS/Win 3.11.

Wow.  This has to be the *first* time I've ever heard such a WAG about the
well known RTE200 bug in the Crt unit of TP7 running on fast machines.
