the CRT.ASM unit included with these compilers. DOS based programs that were compiled using these buggy versions of the CRT unit will generate the RTE200 error when started on a CPU that

is faster then 200 Mhz (though some non-Intel CPU's would avoid the error up to 350 Mhz). runtime error 200 patch One solution is to recompile the source code using a later version of Pascal, or a fixed CRT.ASM unit. Obviously that's only possible if runtime error 2001 you have the source code available. The more common solution is to patch the .EXE file to disable the bug. There are several programs that allow this. The one I recommend is PatchCRT by Kennedy Software. This one is more compatible

then most others, including TPPatch (which is less effecent, and uses German results and error text). I'd suggest keeping PatchCRT.exe in your path, so that you can run it from any directory simply by typing it followed by the name of the .EXE to be patched. PatchCRT will only be able to patch .EXE files which have not been compressed by an EXE compressor, such as aPACK, Diet, LZEXE, PKLite, Petite, UPX, etc. If PatchCRT fails to patch the .EXE, there

is a good chance it is because the .EXE has been compressed. The best tool I have found to uncompress .EXE files is UNP. This has worked for about 80% of the compressed .EXE files I have encountered. The nice thing about UNP is it runs well under Windows. My second choice would be CUP386, but this works best in a plain DOS environment without any extended memory manager (including himem.sys or emm386.sys) installed. I have used this tool to uncompress several .EXE's which UNP was unable to do. Once you have sucessfully uncompressed a compressed .EXE file, you should then be able to run PatchCRT on it to remove the RTE200 bug. If all the above fails, the other option is to run a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) utility that will provide a kluge to the division by zero issue by catching this error as the .EXE is being run, and telling DOS to ignore it. The best TSR I have found to do this is TP7p5fix. Simply run the TP7P5.EXE to load the TSR into memory, and any programs being run in that DOS window will avoid the RTE200. Keep in mind that once you close this DOS Window, or open other DOS Windows the TSR will not be active unless you load it again.

Symptom: A legacy MS-DOS program crashed while leaving the cryptic error message. Solution A runtime error 200 message usually occurs with old DOS applications written in Turbo and Borland Pascal. Turbo Pascal had a timing https://github.com/Defacto2/defacto2.net/wiki/Troubleshoot-runtime-error-200 bug that would cause its complied programs to crash when they were operating on machines running at 200Mhz or faster. It is known as the CRT unit issue and can be fixed by applying a patch to the effected application. Otherwise you can run the application in DOSBox which can artificially slow down the speed of the emulated DOS session. If you wish to patch the application we have created a guide to help you through it. Though this is only recommended for people experienced with DOS or the Windows command prompt. Download UNP 4.11 A Turbo Pascal decompression program. Download CRTFix 1.16 A CRT bug patching program. Create a temporary directory. MKDIR C:\TPATCH Unzip both downloaded packages into the temporary directory. PKUNZIP TurboPascal-Unpack.zip C:\TPATCH PKUNZIP crtfix16.zip C:\TPATCH In our example we are going to patch defacto.exe which is the binary from an early Defacto magazine that suffers from this bug. So run the UNP program to decompress the binary. UNP DEFACTO.EXE Once the decompression is complete run the crtfix program to patch the binary. CRTFIX DE
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 http://wiki-errors.com/runtime-error-200-%E2%80%93-the-pascal-error/ DOS based programs that were faster than 200MHz and could make an already slow machine even slower and/or inoperable. Runtime Error 200 Causes The Runtime Error 200 problem is generated in the initialization routine’s internal http://www.johndaileysoftware.com/support/knowledgebase/220-0001.asp 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 runtime error in the correct 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 runtime error 200 be sure you are 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.

When attempting to run a program from within Windows or at the DOS prompt, the program crashes immediately and returns a runtime error #200. More Information/Solution: This is a problem for any program written in Borland (Inprise) Turbo Pascal that is ran on a very fast computer (i.e. Pentium based processor). The cause of this error is a timing loop that occurs as part of the initialization of the software. This timing loop counts how many clock ticks occur within the loop and then that number is divided by 55. The result of this division is a value that is too large to fit into an integer value. The 'Divide by 0' error message is the catch-all error that is displayed when this overflow occurs. To fix this problem, three options are currently available: Patch (fix) the affected software using a third-party application such as TPPatch (recommended), Run a third-party memory resident program such as TP7P5Fix that catches the bug as it happens in memory, or Run the affected software only on a slower machine (pre-Pentium processor) Two third-party patching methods are available in our download area, or you may download the recommended fix TPPATCH.ZIP directly. Instructions for the use of the product is included in the distribution archive.
