Topic locked 3 posts • Page 1 of 1 Fix "Error 200" (Divide by zero) - by Snover runtime error 200 pascal and Stiletto, with thanks to edelbeb by Snover » 2002-7-26 @ 00:40 If tp7p5fix you're trying to play an old game and it was written in Turbo Pascal, chances are, on any machine freedos runtime error 200 over 200MHz, you will get an Error 200 (Divide by zero error). This program corrects the problem by patching your executable. From the readme... ctbppat v1.2 © Andreas Stiller [April 2000]ctbppat fixes patchcrt programs coded in Borland Pascal that cause runtime error 200 on systems with clock speeds of over 200MHz. This error occurs due to incorrect initialisation of the DELAY counter.ctbppat is also a universal EXE scanner, monitor, and patcher. It supports the usual EXE formats -- MZ for DOS; NE for OS/2, DPMI, and Windows 3.11; and PE for 32-bit environments -- and can detect

the language with which the file was created. Running "bppatch *.* /s [/p]" will list all file formats in the current directory.If you use the switches /NE, /MZ, or /PE, ctbppat will be restricted to the respective EXE format. This will increase the speed with which it can analyse files. Running in pure DOS mode with SmartDrive (if possible) will also increase analysation speed.If ctbppat finds an executable made with Borland Pascal 7.0, it will examine the file further to determine if it uses an original or changed CRT unit, whether this unit is already patched, and whether the DELAY function is called at all. (If it is not, patching is unnecessary.)Depending on the result of this examination, ctbppat may offer to patch the file. If the DELAY function is used, it can be fixed by using a different delay routine that should function properly up to ~4GHz.To do this, the BREAK routine in the CRT unit is shortened and the delay code patched into the free space.If DELAY is not used, the divisor is simply increased to 65535. This will prevent DELAY from operating; however, this will ensure that the

I installed FreeDos because I wanted to run a Pascal code using Turbo Pascal. When I run the code, it throws error 'Error 200: Division by zero.'. How can I solve this? -Turbo Pascal 7.0, Free DOS 1.1, Virtual Box 4.3.6, Windows XP Service Pack 3 Host machine http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21647352/how-to-resolve-error-200-division-by-zero -This error is unfortunately caused by fast Pentium CPUs and I found a patch on the internet that will resolve the error. (www.filewatcher.com/m/bp7patch.zip.62550-0.html) Now the other problem is, when i was tracing the code, it hangs at 'RxWait procedure when trying to execute while not odd(port[RXTX + 5]) do;' uses crt; const { COM1: RS232 port address } RXTX = $3F8; { $2F8 if COM2: is used } ACK = 6; NAK = 21; ESC = 27; var dummy, checkSum : integer; key : char; protocol : integer; procedure InitComm; { Set baudrate to 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit } var i : integer; begin i := 1843200 div 9600 div 16; port[RXTX + 3] := $80; port[RXTX + 1] := hi(i); port[RXTX]:= lo(i); port[RXTX + 3] := 3; port[RXTX + 4] := $A; while odd(port[RXTX + 5]) do begin dummy := port[RXTX]; delay(10); end; end; { InitComm } procedure Tx(data : integer); { Transmit a character on serial channel } begin while port[RXTX + 5] and $20 = 0 do; port[RXTX] := data and $FF; end; { Tx } function RxWait : integer; { Waits for a character from serial channel } begin while not odd(port[
encounter this Runtime Error. Runtime Error 200 Symptoms Like any other Runtime Error, Runtime Error 200 lets itself be well known via a pop up alert. This “bug” seems to pop up in DOS http://wiki-errors.com/runtime-error-200-%E2%80%93-the-pascal-error/ based programs that were faster than 200MHz and could make an already slow machine even http://s416217492.onlinehome.us/error200.html slower and/or inoperable. Runtime Error 200 Causes The Runtime Error 200 problem is generated in the initialization routine’s internal workings. What happens is a code will actually measures the “running time” of what is called a busy wait loop. While doing so it calculates how many times a call must be made for a delay in the correct error 200 amount. When the computer moves too fast and the loop takes zero ticks and the calculations come up as “Division by Zero’ or Runtime Error 200. Solving Runtime Error 200 There are two ways in which you can go about solving Runtime Error 200 problems. The first way is to use a patch in order to get the program to work, but this is risky. If you do this be sure you are runtime error 200 using a reputable website in order to get the patch as some patches are really nothing more than viruses in disguise. Another solution is to run a TSR, or Terminate and Stay Resident, utility. Steps: Run the TP75.EXE and allow loading into TSR memory. Run your DOS program and avoid the error message. Repeat steps one and two each time you access DOS as the TSR will not be active unless you load it each time.

these compilers when run on a Pentium-class computer faster than about 180mhz. Borland (now Inprise) has no officially-supported fix for this but several unofficial fixes have appeared on various Pascal programming forums and newsgroups. Some are to patch the CRT unit in your compiler (so you can produce programs free of the problem) and others are programs to patch executable programs that have the problem (in which case you do not need the source code or the means to re-build the problem program).
